WBC are like 30 people, SJWs are millions strong, and damn near unavoidable if you're 35 and under and use the internet, or, god help you, in college. But by all means bury your head in the sand and insist it's all a vast right wing conspiracy, die on this hill if it makes you happy.

They're a subculture, d00d. More like a counterculture I say. Hippies once numbered in the millions and the far right was paranoid that they would destroy the fabric of American society and plunge the US into an irreversible decline leading to Soviet communist takeover......But that never happened.

Cultural Appropriation is an aspect of CRT.

However that is not the same thing as saying it is Marxism.


Now it part of a stream within in Marxism. And did not say Marxism in general. I used a more specific term. What you seem to be doing is saying is not the same as Marxism in general, when someone uses the term Marxist-Leninism (something specific). Which of course the original person did not state.

Like I said what I mentioned is a stream within Marxism. Alto considered heretical within the more wider Marxist movement. However this specific part was one the inspirations for 68'ers (with protesters carrying signs with "Marx, Mao, and Marcuse." ) and their heirs the SJW's. And as has been said by a different poster theories put forth by those who adhere to this school are part of what happened.
