BRUCE LERRO—As famous and respected as he is now, Mead had little influence over the historical development of social psychology because he was a Hegelian and social psychology developed within a Cartesian paradigm.

EDITOR—If you have wondered why all of a sudden TV audiences are being flooded with commercials that improbably include every race under the sun and every hue, gender, sexual orientation, and color that nature created, but rarely whites, or straight couples, Garland Nixon has the answer: it’s all a cynical ploy by the US ruling class to sell the utterly ridiculous idea that the American empire has already built a totally (and absurdly) sexually liberated, multi-racially harmonious and happily integrated society.

MARIUS TROTTER—Woke identity politics is the latest legitimizing ideology of the East Coast, WASP establishment of the Ivy Leagues, which enjoys an intertwined, incestuous relationship with the national security state. It has a distinctly Calvinist morality at its center, which presupposes sin (‘privilege’’/’white supremacy’) as the natural state of humanity, unless proven otherwise.

For all the talk of ‘systemic racism’ and other ‘systems’, it is a worldview that is concerned with cleansing the individual and controlling social behavior.
