    In invocations of settler colonialism, Berkowitz hears progressives giving up on effecting change through political means. “The left has replaced its faith in proletarian subjects and utopian solutions with a view of the Indigenous as innocent and oppressed. It’s an ethics rather than a politics.”

    What the fuck does this even mean?

      They're doing what what's called class reductionism but doing it for real instead of the imagined thing liberals think we do

        It reads more like: "Faith in proletarian subjects and utopian solutions" devoid of ethical considerations...

        geordi-yes

        Using the science of ethics to inform your political position about the real world...

        geordi-no

        Typical liberal rag, esoteric navel-gazing only/no realpolitik allowed... There's nothing quite as pathetic as watching a liberal wonder about the world.

      yea ima be honest leftists need to stop talking like that yesterday

      tbh it sounds more like a liberal thing, or at least someone who hasn't given up on the USgov

      it has the same vibes as "institutional racism" where you constantly repeat the passive-voiced option so it sounds less bad and alarming (don't @ me, instutions are just full of racist crackers and their lapdogs, 99% of the time "institutional" racism is literally just normal-ass racism)
