@cyborganism @GammaGames Thereās a particular category of āleftistā who, to put it gently, have a greatly simplified view of the world in which āthe only war is class war.ā They regard social issues such as anti-racism, feminism, queer liberation as distractions from the ātrueā cause of bringing about a new economic system - unimportant at best, active interference invented by the ruling class at worst.
Basically, theyāre narrow-minded bigots.
Which is so fucking dumb because theyāre actively resisting the class awakening that we all need to have. That these divisions and culture wars we have are a distraction from the true communal love we could all experience and push to topple the hierarchical system. These fucking regressive morons are standing in the way of their own revolution
Iād argue that they arenāt entirely wrong, just coming to the entirely wrong conclusion.
It absolutely benefits the 1% to have people fighting about stuff that keeps them out if the crosshairs, but the solution isnāt to be an asshole and stamp out any attempts at progress in culture and acceptance. The solution is to accept people and progress cultural stuff faster to unite people better.
If youāre going to be militant about the class war, donāt you want as many allies as possible? Within reason of course, donāt want bigoted assholes.
Thatās the thing. Dessalines and Nutomic are the bigoted assholes the rest of us should be telling to fuck right off because theyāre getting in the way of our class awakening. They think theyāre adovocating for true liberation when their way of going about it slows things down. They are tools of capital holders when they pull shit like this
@wizardbeard Oh yeah, totally - itās not like the 1% doesnāt use these things to its advantage. Donāt take my comment as making the mistake of ignoring that. Itās just myopic at best to act like other forms of oppression can be ignored as long as we ensure economic liberation. And a lot of the people spouting that opinionā¦ well, thereās a reason they think bigotry isnāt a problem - they suck.
Not sure how that relates? Thats just Europeans being racist which is extremely common and irritating
