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?

    Also waltzing into a socialist space and calling white people names is liable to be wrecker shit.

    also guarantees that the only thing people remember is that you were randomly calling people "whitey" with no context instead of any useful message or idea.

      Yeah, the "no context" is the big issue for me. I don't see anything wrong with a heated slant where there's a point to be made and am not generally a fan of requiring POC to be super careful and strategic about how they explain shit to white people, but if nobody knows what you're talking about all it can ever accomplish is discord.
