Academic source for you, not wikipedia:Stop trying to be intellectual and then use wikijokes as a source.It is documented as a school of thought. Stop digging yourself into a hole please. I'm trying to help.If it isn't documented as a school of thought you can't see it. We get it.I didn't say you needed a school of thought. Ffs, can you read? I said Critical Theory is a Marxist school of thought.I don't need a "school of thought" to support or attack. Obviously you do.It's not a conspiracy really, its a school of Marxist thought and a political strategy. There is no group of higher ups in some room directing all of this...its a theory developed to corrupt minds.
Do you believe Nazism and Fascism were conspiracy theories or something taught in order to get a desired effect across the societies they took hold in?
Have you ever even looked into what I am talking about or have you always relied on the common misconception that the Frankfurt School strategy is a "conspiracy theory" to ignore the facts and keep believing you can figure this out without any research on where all this cultural rot comes from?
Critical theory is a school of thought that stresses the reflective assessments and critique of society and culture by applying knowledge from the social sciences and the humanities.
Critical theory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
No one said schools of thought don't exist, I am not buying A school of thought is in play. Most libs, and conservatives for that matter, just see solutions very differently. Almost zero percent could cite any particular school of thought. It comes across as a conspiracy and will get labeled tin hat in a hurry, defeating your purpose.

The Frankfurt School and Critical Theory
The Frankfurt School, also known as the Institute of Social Research (Institut für Sozialforschung), is a social and political philosophical movement of thought located in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. It is the original source of what is known as Critical Theory. The Institute was founded, thanks to a donation by Felix Weil in 1923, with the aim of developing Marxist studies in Germany. The Institute eventually generated a specific school of thought after 1933 when the Nazis forced it to close and move to the United States, where it found hospitality at Columbia University, New York.
The academic influence of the “critical” method is far reaching in terms of educational institutions in which such tradition is taught and in terms of the problems it addresses. Some of its core issues involve the critique of modernities and of capitalist society, the definition of social emancipation and the perceived pathologies of society. Critical theory provides a specific interpretation of Marxist philosophy and reinterprets some of its central economic and political notions such as commodification, reification, fetishization and critique of mass culture."
