Noname: "leftists should organize the majority of their colonialist nations and stop fixating on marginalized people"
British class traitor Breadtuber: "You're just trying to stop the revolution by pointing out I'm a LARPer who never talks to the working class and is just doing paternalist liberalism with woke socialist characteristics. Telling me to organize the vast majority of workers??? What a convenient narrative!"
she's one of the dumbest people on the left, props to Peter Coffin for leaving that podcast.
radlib "left" media attracts a lot of mediocre people because it is so easy to get clout and you don't have to be intelligent or talented to gain credibility. All you have to do is fervently sell party lines and have a histrionic/ infantile personality.
if I was a pretentious British opportunist, I would not make tweets like this because they would clearly apply to myself as an illiterate Breadtuber failure.
Black skepticism of White people, even self-proclaimed White leftists and activists, is more than justified by history and (generally) personal experience, and I wouldn't say that they have any obligation to allow White people into a given space. They can set whatever bar or qualifications they feel are appropriate (including just saying no White people allowed at all). And you're absolutely correct in your analysis of segregated areas and racist attitudes.
The problem with noname's statement is the blanket assertion that these groups must necessarily be separate, that there is no room for common ground. That there is nothing they could possibly stand to gain from cooperation right now, today. It shows how disconnected she is from the actual movement, how wrapped up in twitter intellectualism. The most radical work getting done now is POC lead but not POC exclusive.

I'm not dogpiling. I'm not ragging on her on twitter. I'm just having a conversation about the things she says. There's no dogpiling here because she's not here. And it isn't bad faith to look critically at an argument she is making that, in my view, actively works against progress.
As I've said elsewhere, I like noname (from what little I see of her), and I think her book club initiative could be really useful and informative. I have defended her on here before. None of that makes her immune from criticism for a take that is either extremely bad or, at best, so poorly communicated that it might as well be bad, especially is she wants to a public intellectual and educator.
