Critical Race Theory is a religion where fairness is God and disparity is sin -- and only in the imagination of the enlightened socialist does perfect equality triumph over nature’s uneven distribution of life joy, talent, and power.
For everyone else CRT is a religion of permanent anger.
CRT is a religion of permanent anger and perpetual disappointment because utopian fairness is unobtainable. Not even in the Garden of Eden were humans equal nor in heaven do all angels exist without distinction. Nowhere, it seems, in the history of world religions, myths, or societies has perfectly equality existed.
Only in the resentful hearts of despairing radicals does perfect equality exist.
And only when high hopes are at odds with unmet expectations does the call for perfect equality bring new converts.
For it is this inability to reconcile imaginary goodness, i.e. equality, with reality, i.e. the source of disparity, that is the sole cause for conversion to religions of perfect equality like CRT.
Likewise this is the purpose of the religion -- it isn’t to address social problems or provide meaningful answers to life’s most vexing questions. It’s purpose is to infect others with an internal agitation of a society that never will be.
Despite this academics -- the high priests of religious equality -- worship under the CRT denomination for other superficial reasons.
Academics love CRT because it gives them a veneer of meaning and sense of utility. After all the academic knows nothing about hard blue collar work or the pride of completion resulting therefrom. Nor do they know anything about the joys of achievement. For them reality is a matter of projection -- and everyone, being like themselves, lives a thieving life of stolen accomplishment and guilty pleasure.
Thus to quell the anger they’ve instilled in us the academic elite insist we worship at the altar of rage with them waiting for society to burn.
