That's a weird statement. Is a bottle opener a foolish oversimplification? The term accurately and concisely describes an ideology. It would only be foolish if it falsely misled people to not give cultural marxism its due respect. Since it's not due any respect, that's a weird statement.
The ideas are taken seriously by the vice president, much of the biden admin, medical institutions, admin at most universities, corporations with a DEI
I've never heard a credible person use the term in earnest. Googling it's origins shows nothing from academia. I guess the Nazis used the term "cultural Bolshevism."
Usually an academic would critisize a school of philosophy or a given writer, like Foucault or whomever. They hopefully wouldn't make up some mushy term that just means "stuff I don't like" and conflate giant corporations with with radical LW writers.
It's a foolish oversimplification because not everyone who thinks racism exists agrees that science is a social construct or whatever. Just like everyone who thinks weed should be legal isn't an anarchist.
These philosophies
have faced constant criticism from academics. Which is good because they are silly imo.
Chomsky despises this stuff, for example.
