1.) I’ve been doing more reading on Critical Race Theory while viewing some videos from College Campuses where Critical Race Theory is being touted. I’ve viewed the “Enemies within the Church” film documentary and have listened to some more podcasts on the subject. The thing I am finding amazing is that this stuff is blanketing the heretofore considered Christian Colleges and Universities. Indiana Wesleyan University is down the drain. Calvin College is down the drain. Grove City College is circling the drain. Dort college is circling the drain. Taylor University, Wheaton College, Moody, Southern Baptist Seminary, South-Eastern Baptist Seminary, etc. etc. etc. are all either going, going more, or are gone done the drain.
Now, the interesting thing here is that this is happening regardless of the denominational or theological stripe. It is so bad out on this score that I am convinced that I could instantly switch out and exchange faculties say from Calvin University (putatively Calvinist) and Indiana Wesleyan University (putatively Arminian) and no one would notice the content difference in what would be taught now by the new faculties in their pretend new settings. So, the question that must be raised is … is there any real difference between the worldview created by embracing Calvinism as it touches the humanities and Arminianism as it touches the humanities? Alternately, (and I suspect what is really going on) is it the case that these putative Christian Universities are really agreed despite their denominational and theological labels because what they are really teaching is pure Cultural Marxism in terms of world and life view.
I suspect that a minister trained at Calvin University and a minister trained at Indiana Wesleyan University would be spouting much the same thing in their respective pulpits and I suspect no one would have a clue about whether they are Arminian or Calvinist from their preaching. Same ole, same ole. White privilege blah blah blah. Intersectionality blah blah blah. Critical Race Theory blah blah blah. Racism blah blah blah. Black Lives Matter blah blah blah. And the beat goes on… and the beat goes on ad nauseam.
It has gotten to the point that even though there may be different denominational proclamations on the Church signs it is the case that all of these churches (generally but not universally speaking) are of the same persuasion and so in a defacto sense they are of the same denomination. Whether it is Nazarene, Reformed Baptist, Presbyterian Church of America, Southern Baptist, Christian Reformed Church, etc. it just doesn’t matter since they are all dishing out the same Cultural Marxist shizer.
2.) In one of the videos I viewed of a chapel service at Grove City College, Jemar Tisby was waxing eloquent on how the issues brought up by Critical Race theory are the new Civil Rights movement. Tisby appealed to the great work of those Civil Rights marchers once upon a time and told the gathered students that the way they treat the Critical Race Theory push would have been the same way that they treated the Civil Rights movement.
Now, the Civil Rights movement has become a touchstone of American orthodoxy for the generations born since 1945 or so. John MacArthur tells stories that give him street cred with the Civil Rights movement. I’ve also heard other high profile Ministers boast about how they were with the Civil Rights marchers.
Let it be said here that we would not be where we are now with Critical Race Theory and Black Lives Matter if it had not been for the success of the Civil Rights movement of the 1960s. Let it be said here that the Civil Rights movement was instigated and anchored by the Communist Party USA and sold to the American people by the Marxist media just like that same media is selling the Deep State virus lie and the need for the Great Reset to the American people today. The Civil Rights movement pushing for equality and the push for equity today was never about equality and equity. It was always about first diminishing and now displacing the Christian white man and his world and life view.
Get a copy of “The Bondage of the Free,” by Kent Steffgen if you can and have your eyes opened about the now sainted Civil Rights movement. If people did some digging on the Civil Rights movement they wouldn’t automatically get misty-eyed when Jemar Tisby mentions it.

“I should have a better answer but for me, it wasn’t one source (that brought me to this point) but years spent reading social & cultural histories … histories of gender (from authors like) Foucault, Gramsci, Adorno, Habermas, learning to be curious how the works, works.”
Author — Jesus & John Wayne; How White Evangelicals Corrupted a Faith and Fractured a Nation
For those not familiar with those names Ms. Du Mez cites allow me to inform you that they are each and all, saving Foucault, Cultural Marxists and Foucault is one of the chiefs among the pomos.
Christian college students forced to sit through chapel services that find CRT speakers in the pulpit should stand and denounce the chapel speaker and the subject. They should keep doing so once one student is removed for standing and denouncing. Once one is removed and order restored another immediately pops up and says the speaker is Anti-Christ.
4.) Mass formation Psychosis (you’re going to be hearing that phrase more and more) is the logical outcome of any social order which is increasingly consistent with their anti-Christ presuppositions. Social order insanity is the norm for any people who abandon the God of the Bible. If we continue, as a people, to rebel against God you can expect things to get more and more bizarre.
Mass formation psychosis is when a significant percentage of societies, so the theory goes, come under a kind of mass hypnosis that does not allow them to change their mind about hypnotic deceptions that they are being fed by mass media which is bombarding them with a landslide of constant bushwah. It is akin to what Gustav LeBon wrote about in his classic book “The Crowd.” Once Mass formation psychosis begins the significant percentage begins to find their identity in clinging to the false narrative so much that they are willing to cut off family, previous close friends, and social circles that would dare question the official narrative. The igniting moment is the presence of some ubiquitous fear that those afflicted begin to strongly identify with. The maintenance of the psychosis is by the absorption and owning of the bigger and bigger lies that are needed to prop up the false narrative. At some point, the mass formation psychosis will descend into violence against those who refuse to wear the uniform of the psychotic.
Those interested can access not only LeB on (previously mentioned) but Hannah Arendt as well in some of her works. (Note; neither LeBon nor Arendt use the phrase “mass formation psychosis.”)
5.) “Well Karen, that dovetails with this right-wing conspiracy theory that used to be part of the fringe called the great replacement. The idea that whites are being replaced. This idea is also that the Democratic Party is doing this deliberately. Well, that idea now is voiced by mainstream political leaders, by mainstream media figures, embraced full throttle.”

6.) The best medicine for all this is pure unadulterated laughter. If we can’t laugh at the world going insane then we have lost our ability to cope. Try to envision it all as a giant satire of normalcy and rationality.
Secondly, keep in mind that God laughs at all this (see Psalm 2). These plotters against God with their legion of Kool-aide drinker useful idiots should be met with our laughter — The non-Pentecostal version of “Holy laughter.” Think about it … if God can laugh at all this then why shouldn’t we be laughing with Him?
Also, nothing will fill these people with more rage than laughing at them. People of this stripe lost their sense of humor in the birth canal and they absolutely become unhinged when you laugh at them or make jokes at their expense.
So … laugh away and keep in mind that the current darkness is only temporary. Insanity can’t win.
