If the American Government spent half the energy on improving the lives of the working class that the American Government spend on fucking over governments and working class people, globally, the American working class would have a utopia by now. Or at least less lead in our pipes.

The BLM stuff moved a lot of minorities (Asians and others) away from the left

Can you expand on this? I haven’t stumbled upon this before

maybe we can knock it off with the underlying red herring sexism. We know already karen is a catch all term to get the hate pointed at women and off of the gun toting proudboys.

“Karen” started as a term for white women weaponizing their whiteness to behave unreasonable, aggressive and entitled towards BIPOCs, despite being marginalized themselves, through their gender.

White men has conveniently left out the whiteness that they themselves participate in, and focused in on the white women, essentializing the unreasonable, aggressive and entitled behaviour as linked to white women’s gender, rather than their whiteness

Classic co-opting. A social dominant group taking a term that’s been used by marginalized groups to critique the systemic oppression inherent in current power structures; and instead use it to uphold and reinforce the current power structures and their inherent oppressive systems.
