Critical theory and "ideology"[edit]

The article currently includes this sentence, "It [critical theory] argues that ideology is the principal obstacle to human liberation." But since critical theory is itself a form of ideology, this line of argument destroys itself. What is best way to repair this? Pete unseth (talk) 13:28, 29 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

But it is not, nor referred to as an ideology in the article. 213.161.247.227 (talk) 04:03, 12 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Critical theory is a type of ideology, though the article may not refer to it as such. So, I refer again to the sentence about how critical theory views ideology. Pete unseth (talk) 21:13, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Critical theory is a methodology, not an ideology. Ie when rightists propose that their is an evil structural wokeness that must be purged from society, that is essentially a critical theory analysis. They are proposing that the structural forces are of wokeness, rather than misogyny and racism. Of course they do not acknowledge this, they plagiarize instead.2601:140:9500:7F00:81DB:E23A:8B29:4B7A (talk) 19:13, 3 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

"they plagiarize instead" Well, you can not be prosecuted for copyright violation for imitating the methodology of your opponents. Dimadick (talk) 11:56, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Critical theory is certainly an ideology. "It argues that social problems stem more from social structures and cultural assumptions than from individuals." (That is not a "methodology".) Then in the next sentence, "ideology is the principal obstacle to human liberation". As it is now written, it would then appear that for critical theory followers, "ideology" is only the belief of others, those who hold opposing views. I think these sentences should be rethought and rewritten. Pete unseth (talk) 23:16, 7 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Disputed content[edit]

I ask Kbr023 to engage here rather than attempting to edit war their preferred content back into the article. In my edit summary when reverting, I said "Rm good-faith edit. This does not appear to be WP:DUE for inclusion (at least not at this length) or encyclopedic WP:TONE." Please take a look at those policy links if you haven't already and let's discuss here. Generalrelative (talk) 05:43, 4 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I also don't see the rationale for saying these particular things in this order on the place they were put on the page. Sennalen (talk) 13:38, 4 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Critical theory and immigration[edit]

One sentence citing two sources is not a coherent or substantial addition to the article. I think it should be expanded or removed. Pete unseth (talk) 00:17, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Agree. Similarly there are some mentions of immigration in Critical race theory, but not as separate subsection. HudecEmil (talk) 15:46, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
