It's easy to say that it feels like a psyop, but the levels of class reductionism - that is to say - the knee-jerk ridicule of intersectional shit or critical race theory stuff feels highly suspect. Like, you can't say white people are nerds (which they are) in a lot of anti-woke left spaces without harsh rebukes, and it seems really suspect to me. Is there a real fash pipeline in our midst? Are class reductionist white people that sensitive and defensive and... well... white to the point that they can't let go of their privilege even in the context of them being left?

    I'd imagine if they're white they still have bits of white supremacy kicking around in their heads. I'm a white dude who used to be fash and I still deal with the thoughts from time to time. Not making excuses for them mind you, I just think this plays a part.
