THE DEATH OF THEORY TOM MCLAREN
We’ve reached the point of reductio ad absurdum a coddled, younger generation bases a nationwide revolutionary violence spree on 10 seconds of a 15-minute video taken out of context Empowers themselves judge, jury & executioner, once they deem you woke or unwoke Moby Dick, milk & time are all racist because they are white A female college student seeing a penis at a dormroom party constitutes rape, while a 5 year old girl seeing a penis in a lady’s room constitutes progress ad hominem albus Can the Subaltern Speak was supposed to give voice to liberate intersectional discourses of oppression not be used as a manual to be applied in order to silence/oppress entire classes, genders, races, age groups Critical Theory has ceased to be critical Like Abbie Hoffman said, Don’t trust anyone under 30 Was theory ever about liberation? Marxism & Maoism are the ultimate form of classism, enforced by death squads I’m ashamed I ever took part in any of this even if my hands aren’t dirty
