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?
because the woke left shift was a result of the 80s and 90s left failing so horribly. now because the current left has burnt through hundreds of millions only to stall out the process is happening again. the dirtbag left was always mostly white so this is how the shift appears in them, but the broader rejection crosses identity lines since it is driven by the fact people need things like healthcare and the existing left is too corrupt and alienating to make progress toward providing it.
it is not so much class reductionism as the left needing to realize there are consequences to failure and you can't stay in the build up stage indefinitely. self sabotaging political campaigns, aimless organizational strategy, millions of dollars being tossed down a hole, etc. this is how the status quo has failed to justify itself. this is why that status quo is being abandoned.
