Kevin MacDonald comments on lefts idiocy.

He also points out that the entire culture of the left is designed so that leftists who are utterly devoid of any talent except self-promotion can overtake talented Whites in institutions dominated by the left.

Quote:
In a previous blog I commented on Kyle Kusz’s cultural Marxist analysis of White males in extreme sports. I can’t resist also commenting on Kusz’s outrageous discussion of another one of those oppressive White athletes, Andre Agassi. After Agassi’s redemption as an athlete (where he turned his career around after a long stretch of not taking tennis seriously), Kusz claims that Agassi’s later image of “white masculinity is implicitly invested in notions of personal responsibility, sovereignty, self-determination and the disavowal of structural privileges of any kind. … His response to his episode of suffering [during the period when he was a tennis underachiever] enabled the fantasy of extraordinary will and limitless energy of white men ” (p. 56).

In other words, Agassi’s personal determination to get his tennis career back on track counts for nothing. His career magically got back on track because he was able to take advantage of structural privileges only accorded to White men. Just being White allows one to overcome all obstacles. Hey Kusz: Know any White guys, even rich White guys, who have failed despite all their structural privileges?

Kusz’s cultural Marxism systematically denies any reality to psychological traits and predispositions—part of the “it’s all culture acting on a blank slate” mantra. A psychologist would at least suggest that Agassi is fairly high on conscientiousness/effortful control, a psychological trait that enables personal control over impulsive, reward-oriented behavior….

Kusz should look in the mirror when he agonizes about people not earning what they get in life and benefiting from structural privileges in a far left university environment where life is especially easy for non-Whites….

This makes one think of Mark Rothko, as described in Brenton Sanderson’s recent series on the abstract expressionist painter. Here’s an hypothesis worth investigating with some real data: The entire culture of the left is designed so that people utterly devoid of any talent except self-promotion are able to scale the heights in the academic world, the art scene and the whole panoply of cultural institutions dominated by the left. So far, the hypothesis seems overwhelmingly confirmed.

What "structural privileges" did Andre Agassi employ in order to turn his career around in the ultra Darwinian world of professional tennis?

He ran miles up and down the sand dunes outside of his Las Vegas home in the midday heat, got into shape under trainer Gil Reyes, went down to the minor leagues (the challengers...unthinkable for a player of his stature) and played his way back into contention.
That was Andre Agassi's structural privilege! Raw grit and determination matched with gut busting work.

To ask the question is to acknowledge just how frighteningly stupid this claim is and how this clown Kyle Kusz seems to know absolutely nothing about sport.

 

The progressive lefts endless quest for a socially "equal and just" Marxist Utopia must dimish exceptional individual accomplishments...

by explaining them away with terms like "fortunate", "lucky" and "priviledged"....

unless individual exceptionalism is found within one of their approved victim groups....then it is played up as hard work, talent, deserved...or utterly ignored.

 

I detect a straw man, which means another ********** can't make an argument on the merits.
