Counterweight: New Organization Helps Individuals Fend Off Impositions of Critical Race Theory

One of my favorite writers, Helen Pluckrose, is one of the founders of a promising new organization called Counterweight. The mission is to help individuals resist the imposition of Critical Social Justice (CSJ) in their day to day lives. Here’s one of the organization’s first Tweets: What is wrong with anti-racism training that’s based on Critical Race Theory?

    Here’s the greeting I received from Helen Pluckrose upon joining Counterweight:

    Counterweight aims to create a groundswell of popular opposition to woke Critical Social Justice extremism by rejuvenating public confidence in articulating and defending liberalism. Universal liberalism seeks an end to prejudice by making identity irrelevant and seeing people primarily as individuals and humans. It acts against forces that would limit, stereotype or constrain people by identity. It expands our circle of empathy beyond identity categories and brings out the best of human nature. Thank you for joining Counterweight and being part of our work defending liberal values.
