In reality they think if mathematical concepts were developed in a non-white culture, even with different symbology, the end results would also be completely different; the actual meaning, and then more equitable social outcomes follow from that
Ultimately, like in 1984, if they can get you to accept that 2+2=5 then they can get you to accept pretty much any ‘truth’ that they put out as propaganda in order to achieve total societal control.

It’s insane
But I thought critical theory sees only power. How does equity result from a shift in power?
