  • I understand where people are coming from when they say “identity politics” are politics getting in the way of class struggle. I vehemently disagree with it, these are also important issues we need to stand up for even when they are sometimes unpopular

    The thing is, the things that help everyone helps everyone…

    The people suffering from identity politics politicizing their existence as well

    But when shit sucks, people lash out. If we were taking care of everyone, they wouldn’t need a Boogeyman to blame to distract them from the real problem.

    Fixing the class issue makes it easier to fix societal issues.

    You’re literally arguing to put the cart before the horse, to do things in the least effective manner to achieve all goals.

    That’s why the wealthy use it to distract people, even though you think you understand it. You’re still missing the point and falling for it. It’s an effective strategy and loads of people keep falling for it. It exploits natural logic, because it should be easier to handle “identity politics” because it’s way less people.

    Humans aren’t wired to think of more than like 220 people, and that fact is exploited by the wealthy constantly








  • Hey, what do I know?

    I thought growing up in a place that’s voted >90% Republican (with the exception of 08 Obama) populated exclusively by different flavors of Christians would give me unique insight into how much the Republican base would care the wrong title was used.

    Which is not at all because everyone uses their own title because it’s confusing as fuck and no one has ever given a single fuck.

    But apparently I was wrong, because it’s obviously not people down voting what they don’t want to hear, that would never happen.
