Is Scott Greer right that Far-left Critical Race Theory is just like the Right's new "Critical Pedo Theory" with the Democrat Socialists going along to get totalitarian power?
Tucker Carlson needs to listen to Scott Greer on “'Critical Pedo Theory' to the marketplace of ideas... defined... as the Right’s answer to Critical Race Theory":
Do liberals actually believe in CPT? Probably not. But they know it’s smart politics to smear their opponents as pedophile protectors. It makes their Republican foes even worse than racists in the public eye...
... It’s unclear how much Epstein will affect the midterms, but Democrats see it as a potent issue for themselves. It at least serves as a way to embarrass the Trump administration and cause division within MAGA. The Epstein case is the primary stated reason for influencers and Republican politicians to turn on the president. This matter could dampen turnout among Republicans in the fall and may even convince some to vote Democrat. It wouldn’t be that surprising to see jilted Marjorie Taylor Greene endorse Ossoff in Georgia.
The Epstein saga has been one of the Right’s biggest own goals. The demand for the Epstein files came pretty much entirely from conservatives. Elon Musk brought the issue to the forefront of political debate last summer when he accused Trump of being in the files and demanded their release. Before that, they were largely a secondary issue that only drew the attention of right-leaning influencers. But the world’s richest man made it news once again, and when the admin announced Epstein killed himself and there was no “list,” outrage erupted. It then moved from an issue primarily discussed on Rumble to one covered by CNN and network news.
Conservatives wanted the Epstein files released in order to prove the liberal elite were all pedos. This would fully vindicate their brand of populism. But the files painted a very different and far more complicated picture. While the files don’t implicate Trump in any real wrongdoing, public perception now falsely sees him as a close Epstein ally and even as a pedo. The only side that has been harmed by the Epstein case is the Right. The Left wasn’t tarnished by any of the accusations. Leftists were happy to throw Noam Chomsky and other implicated left-wing luminaries under the bus. It’s only served to help their cause.
One of the people most embarrassed by the Epstein files is Elon himself. The man who drew public attention to the matter apparently forgot about his lengthy correspondence with Epstein and his previous requests to visit the sex offender’s island. The lack of awareness was standard for most of the Right.
Right-wingers still might genuinely care the most about Epstein. CPT is more part of their worldview than it would be for liberals. Liberals only see it as an idea to exploit for their own political gain while it’s critical for how a number of rightists see the world. The Epstein saga has the potential to drive them away from right-wing causes. One disturbed young man tried to assassinate Trump over the weekend due to the Epstein files. According to his friends, he was a former Trump supporter who lost his mind over the story. There could be more like him.
CPT is no longer a useful idea for the Right. It doesn’t neuter the Left’s racism accusations or undermine liberal moralizing. It’s now more likely to sow division and demoralization on the Right than to galvanize opposition to the Left. The Epstein files certainly had information that was pertinent to public interest, but the haphazard way they were released was bound to generate this response. Conservative leaders should’ve thought this matter through before eagerly promising their audience proof of their wildest conspiracy theories.
The Left’s cynical adoption of CPT demonstrates how conspiratorial populism can bite the Right in the ass. If everyone in government is in on the pedophile cabal, that’s eventually going to include your own side when they gain power. It’s too anti-establishment and eager for drama to help a party make serious changes to the country.
Some accelerationists on the Right may still cheer on the popularity of CPT because it encourages dissent against the “system.” But if the end result is CPT believers voting Democrat and embracing their fellow pedo haters regardless of skin color, then it’s useless. It reaffirms support for the status quo. People revolting against the system on behalf of poorly-formed notions of cannibal pedophile cabals doesn’t help our side. What helps our side is encouraging identitarian thinking and enacting nationalist policies. CPT encourages an amorphous populism that is far more inclined to believe that race was invented by the elites to divide the people. It offers a completely different worldview from that of identitarians. It distracts from our mission rather than aids it.
There’s little sign that CPT or any other form of conspiratorial populism will dissipate anytime soon. The Epstein Files offer enough tidbits to validate these worldviews, and the new media environment is too dependent on this way of thinking to forsake it. It will continue to lead to self-sabotage.
The Right only has itself to blame when Democrats campaign against the Epstein class in the midterms. [https://www.highly-respected.com/p/the-broad-appeal-of-critical-pedo?utm_source=publication-search]
R.J. Shaw explains the Democrat Socialists plan:
Stop for a moment of silence, ask Jesus Christ what He wants you to do now and next. In this silence remember God, Father, Son and Holy Ghost – Three Divine Persons yet One God, has an ordered universe where you can know truth and falsehood as well as never forget that He wants you to have eternal happiness with Him as his son or daughter by grace. Make this a practice. By doing this you are doing more good than reading anything here or anywhere else on the Internet.

Francis Notes:
l– Doctor of the Church St. Francis de Sales totally confirmed beyond any doubt the possibility of a heretical pope and what must be done by the Church in such a situation:
“[T]he Pope… WHEN he is EXPLICITLY a heretic, he falls ipso facto from his dignity and out of the Church, and the Church MUST either deprive him, or, as some say, declare him deprived, of his Apostolic See.”
(The Catholic Controversy, by St. Francis de Sales, Pages 305-306)
Saint Robert Bellarmine, also, said “the Pope heretic is not deposed ipso facto, but must be declared deposed by the Church.”

The AAS guidelines explicitly allows “sexually active adulterous couples facing ‘complex circumstances’ to ‘access the sacraments of Reconciliation and the Eucharist.'”
– On February 2018, in Rorate Caeli, Catholic theologian Dr. John Lamont:
“The AAS statement… establishes that Pope Francis in Amoris Laetitia has affirmed propositions that are heretical in the strict sense.”
– On December 2, 2017, Bishop Rene Gracida:
“Francis’ heterodoxy is now official. He has published his letter to the Argentina bishops in Acta Apostlica Series making those letters magisterial documents.”
Pray an Our Father now for the restoration of the Church by the bishops by the grace of God.
