Pretending the the average person on the Left (or even the elite-tier) is driven by hyperintellectual Marxist critique rather than simply envy/stupidity/rage is its own form of mental illness.

You don't cut through the bullshit by buying into the bullshit and then constructing elaborate critiques of it. You are never going to convince someone with logical arguments who has an emotional attachment to a given set of ideas. In this sense James Lindsay is all about misdirecting centrists & people on the Right. No matter how elaborate or effective your critique Robin DiAngelo or Ibram X Kendi, or whichever shitforbrains Leftist, it's not going to help you politically outsmart a mob of functionally illiterate africans who want to steal your house/car/bankaccount.
