While there are some merits in examining society with a different lens, I find critical theory (and especially the bastardized version so common in academia and reddit) to be largely bullshit. Everything is reduced to "oppressor vs oppressed", groups of people are denied their own agency due to immutable characteristics, and its Marxist lean is laughable.

It almost, in a Calvinist-like manner, reduces people to their race, their gender, or their sexual orientation instead of their mind. With the only solution of course being "deconstruction", which is a fancy way of saying communist revolution lol
