    Lol. You're right. My bad. He spelled estrogen right though. He probably copied it off his pill bottle.

    Not specifically, no. He's just calling to treat the right like a defeated enemy nation in terms
    of listening to them or cooperating with them to any extent. You're a very literal thinker, aren't you.
    Do believe there is literally pie in the sky?

    You wish. Posting your picture just didn't get the ugly play that you hoped. ;)

    I would think anything is better than living with the paranoid fantasies you believe in.

    Well call Tushnet a friggin' paranoid then because I'm just patiently explaining to you what he's called for. But it's nice seeing you've landed on your feet, Baghdad Bob.

    Both critical theory and cultural Marxism originated from the Frankfurt school. Cultural Marxism relies upon critical theory. Do you deny the connection between Marxism and the Frankfurt school? The Frankfurt school was emulating the Marx-Engels Institute in Moscow. "Cultural Marxism" is a label. Like the Wahhabis don't like to be called Wahhabis, the cultural Marxist don't like to be called cultural Marxist.

    "I saw the revolutionary destruction of society as the one and only solution to the cultural contradictions of the epoch."
    "Such a worldwide overturning of values cannot take place without the annihilation of the old values and the creation of new ones by the revolutionaries."

    Well, if you choose to characterize it that way, I can understand how you reached your beliefs on the matter.

    Is the stark resemblance to Emperor Palpatine purely a coincidence? No I think not.

    Yeah, sorry but that biased article by a Heritage Foundation author doesn't support that huge lie of a title...

    “Trying to be nice to the losers didn’t work well after the Civil War, nor after Brown. (And taking a hard line seemed to work reasonably well in Germany and Japan after 1945.)”

    It's funny, in a sad way, that you would accuse others of being "Cultural Marxists" and then, in the SAME BREATH, advocate that we should fire all university professors who don't meet the standards of the insane right-wing. You don't see the bitter irony of such a dimwitted and ridiculous idea?

    Does anyone have a link to the actual words that he said? All I've found were "conservative" sources and we know that 95% of stuff that makes it on the right-wing circle jerk is usually out-of-context and misquoted garbage.

    In fact I'm wearing bellbottoms and a puka shell necklace

    I'm sorry it's not in Huffington Post, with all the Trump is Hitler! articles

    It comes from his blog "I Yearn to Drink the Blood of Christians and Conservatives"

    That's the way it is. You can lie to yourself if it makes you feel better, which is really all religion is. Lies to make people feel better.

    Thank you. I didn't feel like wading through all the conservative crap to find the piece of corn in its midst.

    Basically, he's advocating that liberals begin using strategies like the cultural regressives have been using for decades.


    For liberals, the question now is how to deal with the losers in the culture wars. That’s mostly a question of tactics. My own judgment is that taking a hard line (“You lost, live with it”) is better than trying to accommodate the losers, who – remember – defended, and are defending, positions that liberals regard as having no normative pull at all.

    Nowhere does he say that liberals should "Treat Christians like Nazis." He advocates taking a hard line against the cultural regressives to impose their twisted ideology on everyone else.

    The part that seems to be confusing some "conservatives":


    "Trying to be nice to the losers didn’t work well after the Civil War, nor after Brown. (And taking a hard line seemed to work reasonably well in Germany and Japan after 1945.)"


    Now think about that last part: (I know, I know... right-wingers would rather regurgitate than to actually think about something):

    "In Germany and Japan AFTER 1945."

    So you're assertion that it means that liberals should treat Christians like Nazis, is just ridiculous nonsense UNLESS you actually think the Nazis were in control of Germany and Japan after 1945.

    I'm not going through this again, after Zeus' 500 posts.

    So, I'm only going to say it once, and I'm sure you'll get it ...

    By saying they should be treated the way we treated the Germans after WW2, he's implying Nazis. Unless you think he means the Marshall Plan, and Cultural Marxists should be sending food baskets to conservatives and Christians?

    Subtext.

    But we didn't take a hardline with Germans or Japanese. Historically its one of the easiest peaces in history. So what could this evil nutcase be talking about? Well we did take a hardline with their leadership. So obviously when this evil son of a (*)(*)(*)(*)(*) is talking about a hardline he is referring to Nuremberg type trials.

    Send your kids somewhere decent. End public funding of colleges. Problem solved.

    I knew many good conservative professors.firing them in some sort of mass-firing would be a massive shame.

    Denazification was accomplished by more than just putting the Nazi leadership on trial. It sought to remove the remnants of the Nazi's extremist ideology by removing Nazi's from power and influence as well as going after organizations that were associated with Nazism. That's the part that he's obviously referencing. Destroy the power structure. The Western powers eventually handed power back to the Germans.
