“Those who experience persistent feelings of indignation, which they view as righteous, tend to shield themselves from personal responsibility for their actions. They hold a pre-identified scapegoat responsible for all of their pain, traumas, and hurts; that scapegoat is ultimately accountable for their misdeeds.”
Dr Val Thomas, Cynical Therapies: Perspectives on the Antitherapeutic Nature of Critical Social Justice

“Only by being free to think for ourselves do we become fully human, he said: ‘Our faith and knowledge thrives by exercise, as well as our limbs.’ To police and shrivel the sphere of public discussion is to frustrate the search for truth itself, Milton said, by ‘hindring and cropping the discovery that might yet be further made both in religious and civill Wisdome’.67 Truth is not something to be bestowed on us from on high – it is something we endeavour to discover ourselves through free thought, free debate and the free exchange of ideas with our fellow human beings. Resisting and challenging the libel that says humanity is a toxic force is the first step towards restoring the liberty and confidence we will need if we are to navigate whatever nature throws at us.”

“Critical Race Theory seeks to improve Marxism by making it deliberately racist.”

“In other words, Critical Race Theory, like all Critical Theories, like all Marxian Theories, is ultimately religious in nature.”
James A. Lindsay, Race Marxism: The Truth About Critical Race Theory and Praxis

“This represents more than ‘cancel culture’, more than another cynical effort by the elites to circumscribe what may be said on a particular issue. It represents an overturning of the virtues of the Scientific Revolution itself, and of that central freedom of Enlightenment: the freedom to question authority.”
Brendan O'Neill, A Heretic's Manifesto: Essays on the Unsayable
