Critical race theory is the idea that since the intersection of two races is patriarchal, patriarchy must be the unit-of-race.
Critical race theory is a reference to modernism-in-retrospect, and it argues that patriarchal units constitute race.
Critical race theory is the first example of intermodernism.
It leaves open the question of what the unit-of-patriarchy is.

First proposed by George Carlin following the initiation of the Persian Gulf War in 1991; the bigger dick foreign policy theory theorizes the justification of war (or conflict in general) being based solely on the size of the aggressor's penis in comparison to the penis size of the defender. Generally, the aggressor possesses a smaller penis in comparison to the defender, and so feels compelled to attack/invade/conquer the defender in order to feel better and prove to others that he is the superior of the two, despite his smaller penis size.
When used to explain war justification, it also explains the visual similarity between rockets, bombs, and bullets, and features they share with phallic imagery, as "the need to project the penis into other peoples' affairs", and is thought to be the origin of the phrase "fucking with people".
The bigger dick foreign policy theory is usually born out of, and is very often related to, dick fear.

"You don't have to be a historian or a political scientist to see bigger dick foreign policy theory at work. It sounds like this: 'What, they have bigger dicks?! Bomb them!'"

Many people like to say that muffins are ugly cupcakes.
This is my theory:
It is not that muffins are ugly cupcakes, but that cupcakes are altered and frosted muffins. The dye on them refers to tanning and the frosting refers to an excess amount of makeup. Cupcakes are whores in the muffin world, while muffins are pure and natural.
Now tell me, whose the ugly dessert now?

Now tell me, whose the ugly dessert now?
Belle: Muffins > Cupcakes
Monica: Muffins are just ugly cupcakes.
Jared: Actually, cupcakes are just altered muffins with makeup on. I call this the conspiracy theory against muffins and cupcakes.
Belle: So cupcakes are whores?
Jared: That would be weird because cupcakes are inanimate objects. But yes, exactly.

The theory that when we accidentally drop an object (where ever we happen to be at the moment) it no doubt falls or rolls to the farthest, unreachable place. It is a mysterious theory that never fails to happen.
I was putting on my make up and my lipstick fell on the floor. Murphy's Far Falling Unreachable Theory kicked in because it was no where to be found. I had to hunt and excavate the room in order to finally find it behind the dresser under the rug.

The fact that most all movies in the 80's had, at their core, a single running theme:
Bored suburban middle-to-upper-class white teens have crazy adventures and come full circle having learned a little about themselves.
How this particular zeitgeist arose is a matter of debate; its existence is not.

title of book by John Maynard Keynes (1883-1946) outlining the general concept of Keynesian economics. The book was published in 1936.
*Context*
______________________________
Prior to the Great Depression, opinions about how to properly manage the economy were dominated by Neoclassical economics, which advocated little government intervention. In particular, unemployment was regarded as the consequence of workers failing to accept wages sufficiently low to permit full employment.
During the Great Depression, unemployment soared to 25% in the USA and Germany. Economics had no advice to give to leaders anxious to do something, and none of the neoclassical predictions were coming true. The government of the UK commissioned J.M. Keynes to lead a commission of top British economists in a general review of economic theory; their finding were summarized by Keynes in *The General Theory*.
*The Findings*
______________________________
The Cambridge team did not have access to statistics of national income and product accounting (NIPA). They did have some data on unemployment and prices, especially from the USA.
Keynes also identified several inherent logical problems with neoclassical economic theory about saving and investment. The theory said that all economic output of an economy would tend to be consumed; all saving would be invested; and all workers would be employed, *provided wages fell low enough*.
Keynes noted the economic mechanism by which investment occurs has little to do with the existing rate of saving; both are influenced by interest rates, but other forces come into play (e.g., liquidity preference for saving, business opportunities and user cost for investment). Hence, aggregate demand can drift very far out of alignment with output (or potential output).
Another finding was that employment rates actually did not respond in a predictable way to the fall in wages. The US economy suffered periods when a reduction in the wage level lead to increases in employment, despite the assumption that workers would have withdrawn from the labor market.
Finally, Keynes proposed the use of monetary policy and fiscal policy for regulating business cycles.

The *The General Theory of Employment, Interest, and Money* completely shook up the world of economic policy. Hereafter, governments took responsibility for economic conditions or they lost power.
