quoting note1nf3…nuanCritical theory applied to nostr:

For the uninitiated, CT is the driving force behind "wokeness". It's a rhetorical technique intended to manipulate people through guilt to get on board with whatever agenda you choose to sanctify through whatever victimhood you choose to appeal to.
Its nature is to shut down reasonable disagreement by discrediting your opponents through appeals to the virtue of the victim and "dismantling structures of power". Ironically, a key part of the strategy is to project its own flaws on its opponents by accusing them of power politics:

The result of critical theory is division, and a never-ending quest to be a member of the most victimized group. This in turn undermines everything praiseworthy: skill, virtue, intelligence, and anything that would naturally cause someone to get ahead in life become categorically evil, and cause the disintegration of communities and societies.
I will be muting Laeserin (nprofile…zgsd) because I have zero tolerance for this crap, and so should anyone who wants to see nostr (or anything else) succeed.

constant soapbox self aggrandizement. very little discussing the topic at hand. argues by bringing up pontification on irrelevant topics because logic and reason applied to the task at hand fails emotional people with no basis of facts or foundation in common sense. beware these narcissists. they are dangerous as a crumbling 5th column asking everyone to stand under them.
