It reeks of Gnosticism. The same set of beliefs - the idea that we're all godly blank slates, but reality from civilized societies down to our very bodies is an oppressive construct built to keep us trapped and suppress our godhood and thus should be dismantled, complete with the same extensions like 'give all your shit to and mindlessly obey the dictates of the elite who have attained gnosis whether they be called Perfecti or The Party or The Experts™', 'men can be women and vice-versa' and 'abortion is fantastic actually, in fact bringing new life into this world is the real sin since you're just trapping more souls in this hell called earth' - keep cropping up, age after age.
The Rousseau-Marx pipeline and all that has spewed forth from it might have completely secularized the worldview and rejected older Gnostic ideas of a religious bent like there being a 'true' goddess called Sophia around, but the core fundamentals are still there. If anything, they've been abandoning any pretense to hard materialism and reverting to the pseudo-religious woo with purposefully built-in, even celebrated, inconsistency and hypocrisy out the ass since Cultural Marxism was articulated by Gramsci, refined by the likes of the Frankfurt School, and entered total ascendancy on the Western left with the 1960s New Left, Paulo Freire's critical theory solidifying in 1970 and the postmodernist crowd while the Soviet Union crumbled.
And the answer to their madness never changes, either: 'kill them all and let God sort them out'.
I think it goes all the way back to philosophic scepticism, which is at the root of nihilism. This mental disease was Aristotle's motivation for formalising logic, to show that philosophic scepticism is self-refuting.

I was about to say the same. Probably different references, but same topic.
Great post
Well said.
