User:Tewdar/sandbox/Cultural Marxism FAQ

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Q: What is Cultural Marxism?

A: Cultural Marxism is a far-right antisemitic conspiracy theory.

Q: Is it also known as the 'Cultural Marxism conspiracy theory'? Or the 'Frankfurt School conspiracy'?

A: Yes, but we have to tell everyone that it's far-right and antisemitic before we include these ALTNAMES.

Q: I see. I've seen other articles include alternative names first, which I prefer for stylistic reasons.

A: THIS DOGMATIC IDIOSYNCRATIC INSISTENCE ON YOUR OWN PREFERENCES IS AN INSULT TO MY ELEGANT SUGGESTION WHICH PROVES ONCE AND FOR ALL THAT YOU ARE NOT HERE IN GOOD FAITH!!!

Q: Okay, okay... holy shit dude, calm down! Are there any other senses of the term 'Cultural Marxism'? Like, as a synonym for Marxist cultural analysis or something?

A: No. This is WP:OR.

Q: How about 'cultural Marxism', then, with a small 'c'?

A: No. Well, not in a WP:NOTABLE way.

Q: But the Oxford English Dictionary says...

A: Yeah, dictionaries aren't WP:RS for this.

Q: And the SAGE Encyclopedia of...

A: Or encyclopedias.

Q:  I found some scholarly journal articles that use the term to mean Marxist cultural analysis.

A: WP:FRINGE!

Q: And several sociology books...

A: WP:SYNTH!!!

Q: So why is there a WP:Hatnote at the top of the article linking the reader to Marxist cultural analysis, then?

A: Because the term is ambiguous. But not ambiguous enough for a WP:DISAMBIGUATION page, obviously.

Q: But you just said...

A: Next question!

Q: So... why is the article titled 'Cultural Marxism conspiracy theory' then, instead of just 'Cultural Marxism'?

A: Because WP:NEO and WP:SALT.

Q: Erm... are you sure those policies are relevant?

A: You know, all these questions are starting to make us suspect that you believe in the conspiracy theory!

Q: I don't, honest! I'm just confused by the article! And isn't this supposed to be an FAQ?

A: (eyes narrow)

Q: So, explain to me why the article lede doesn't begin with The Cultural Marxism conspiracy theory... instead of The term Cultural Marxism...?

A: BECAUSE IF WE DID THAT, EVERYONE WOULD THINK THAT THE CONSPIRACY IS REAL!!! ALSO WP:PRIMARYTOPIC!!!!!

Q: But... but I don't understand! That's the name of the article!!!

A: Drop the WP:STICK!!!!!!!

Q: I don't have a stick! Ouch! Please stop hitting me with that stick!

A: Only if you stop asking questions.

Q: Funny sort of FAQ if you ask me... ouch!!! Alright, I'm not staying WP:HERE, maybe RationalWiki will be more tolerant of dissenting points of view...
