New 'Citizens Advice' Service For Employees & Other Victims Of Woke Culture

from New Culture Forum · host New Culture Forum

This time on "So What You're Saying is...", Peter Whittle is joined by Helen Pluckrose, co-author of the best-selling "Cynical Theories: How Activist Scholars Made Everything about Race, Gender and Identity" and a leading figure in the fight back against Critical Race Theory and Critical Social Justice. Helen is the founder of 'Counterweight', the newly launched "Citizens Advice" service for "culture war casualties". to quote from their website: "Following the death of George Floyd and the BLM protests, new policies and training programmes based on Critical Social Justice ideology suddenly began to be introduced into workplaces, universities and schools. "Many people who found CSJ at odds with their own principles spoke out against this and were formally censured, disciplined or fired for voicing their conscientious objections to the new orthodoxy. Many more self-censored for fear of such consequences. "Thousands of such individuals began to seek help and advice from people who had spoken publicly about the threat to liberal societies posed by Critical Social Justice. We created a Discord server so that we could triage the incoming appeals, prioritise people facing immediate danger of disciplinary action and provide practical information, support and resources to people with less urgent problems. "Individuals can most effectively resist authoritarian impositions of Critical Social Justice beliefs when they thoroughly understand CSJ and can confidently articulate their principled opposition. "Counterweight helps people understand the theoretical basis of CSJ ideology and provides a space where liberal-minded people from across the political spectrum can network and engage in civic discourse."
