The Truth About Critical Theory

The limits of freedom in a social justice society will be defined by critical theorists. Their job is to do one thing, scrutinize every conceivable cultural artifact for hidden injustices. Critical criticism is a solvent that will dissolve our liberal societies if we let it. It is already dissolving them now. And critical theory can be applied to literally anything, absolutely anything. You don't even have to understand it. This is the truth about critical theory, and we cannot let this happen. So I'm here today to warn you, we are late to this fight. This is already well underway. Thank you.
