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?
Well said. I'm an old millennial/young gen X-er. I don't take offense to the statement, "If you’re white, you’re most likely racist unless you unlearn that behavior," because in my case (growing up in the Chicago suburbs), it's true. Unlearning racism takes self-examination and uncomfortable confrontations. Some of my classmates ran headfirst in the other direction.
