Slouching Towards Sharia

Horkheimer, Adorno, Marcuse and The Frankfurt School

Here is a key passage from Horkheimer:

Now check out this valiant attempt to explain critical theory. It is from Wikipedia but I could just as well taken the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy. Here it is:

Responding to the intensification of alienation and irrationality in an advanced capitalist society, critical theory is a comprehensive, ideology-critical, historically self-reflective body of theory aiming simultaneously to explain domination and point to the possibilities of bringing about a rational, humane, and free society. Frankfurt School critical theorists developed numerous theories of the economic, political, cultural, and psychological domination structures of advanced industrial civilization.

has called “the prolix arras of “critical theory” in all its unlovely allotropes”  is that the current Capitalistic society and all its supporting institutions are “domination structures” which “abase” our nature – shades of Rousseau.

Instrumental Reason.

Instrumental reason has two opposing elements: the abstract ego emptied of all substance except its attempt to transform everything in heaven and on earth into means for its preservation, and on the other hand an empty nature degraded to mere material, mere stuff to be dominated, without any other purpose than that of this very domination.

And the rest is history (forgive me that little bit of boilerplate).

The basic catechisms of PC

The fatal flaws of the PC meme

freshman indoctrination courses. Think thought control by purging the English language of verboten terms and phrases. The Global Language Monitor in its sixth annual survey of the English Language. lists, ‘Oriental‘, ‘Founding Fathers‘, ‘’black sheep‘, and ‘senior citizen‘ among the top ten new victims of PC thought control. Even ‘peanut butter sandwich’ might be offensive to people of other cultures. Not so funny, of course, is the purging of ‘Islamism’ and ‘Islamic terrorist’ from inter and intra-governmental discourse.

At what point will the congregation defect? At what point will the Darwinian survival instinct take hold? Will the loyalties to family, church and nation forged in the crucible of the Darwinian struggle for survival re-emerge?

My bet is on Darwin.
