Anyone notice how the terms "critical" or "critical dialogue" are being used in almost the exact opposite of what they actually mean? Particularly among social justice types.
"Critical" means "scrutinizing the assumptions" to most people, but I hear it more and more used to mean "does not question ideology"

Yes.
Using words to mean things other than what they actually mean is a common and despicable practice.
We really do live in the age of bullshit.
>>8606961
yeah
Some "critical dialogue" workshop I overheard literally involved someone presiding over it making sure the discussion didn't step out of line with the narrative.
Thanks for this great original insight opie

God. And it happens in every area right now.
I have in mind the epic apartment (now called "condominium") building going on in my town, and the doublespeak inferring that it is to help with a "housing crisis" while simultaneously telling natives that if they can't afford the new $3,000 apartments, they should move.

Be more specific. What was the topic? Which narrative? Otherwise I'm gonna have to assume you're making this up to confirm your own "narrative."
>>8606997
Not OP, but why does it matter?
Shouldn't critical thought be unfettered to be truly critical?
>>8606997
some postmodern animal rights bullshit
>>8606956
you first read that observation from DFW, op?
Anyone notice how when someone gets easily out argued and dismissed in real life they come here to complain stupid people.
