2020-10-10 21:48:11 +0000 UTCI think the language being used here is particular to a podcast that is about theory. I expect appropriate language would be used in different circumstances, such as the grassroots education projects at an introductory stage or if they are about organising and practice instead.

2020-10-10 21:47:41 +0000 UTCI don't disagree with hardly anything she says, but at this point I'm really burned out on all the academicspeak language that comes from people who do not live in the same world as the great majority of people. Rarified language, coming from people who are mostly trying to impress other highly-educated people and not speak to the proles, is not going to communicate with or persuade those we need to reach. Hint - most people use the word "criticize", not "critique".
