Reconstructing History, Part 10: Means, Motive, and Opportunity

The unions and MNCs have rallied behind these efforts to re-construct US history. While rank and file members most likely seek what they see as fairness to minorities in education, the leadership and the MNCs see power and control. They have the means, motive, and opportunity to drive the effort.

Re-constructing History, Part 9: Is the Education Institution a Cult?

Part 9 IS THE EDUCATION INSTITUTION A CULT? looks at cults and cult tendencies. While calling an entire institution a cult is a stretch, the education institution does exhibit certain cult-like traits.

But even if we do not call something a cult, examining it within a cult-framework may provide some insights into how to address it. This applies not to just the education institution, but to the Trump campaign. If the Trump campaign honestly looks at itself through the lense of the seven signs of a cult, it may learn something about itself and how to address Trump’s high negativity, especially among independent voters.

Margaret Singer, Ph.D. psychologist author of “Cults in Our Midst” stated:

Deprogramming–that is, providing members with information about the cult and showing them how their own decision-making power had been taken away from them.

Restoring critical thinking and effective decision-making needs to be the foundation of all reform and recovery efforts. It is the first cult sign listed in the table above and at the heart of the other six. It is the only viable way to ensure sustainable liberty and prosperity.

Re-constructing History, Part 8: First, Do no Harm

Part 8 looks at the charge in the Hippocratic Oath, “first, do no harm”.
1619 seeks to re-write American history to show slavery is at the root of every institution in the US. CRT aims to show this as well as with the concepts of institutional racism, white supremacy, white privilege, and white fragility. Part 4 of the Maskirovka series covers these issues. The question is whether the Social Justice Warriors (SJW) employ these concepts to excise a cancer or to kill the current social structures and institutions. If they argue racism is permanently rooted in every social structure and institution in America, then they argue for a wholesale restructuring of American society and new institutions that are not tainted with slavery and racism.

This path does harm on several dimensions. Harm that may be far worse than the disease. There are many sites that provide arguments against CRT and 1619, so I will focus on the harm they cause, regardless of any merit they may possess.
