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?
speak of the devil lol
racist things happen because people are racist. people are racist because they grow up in a racist culture. the culture is racist because not enough people break the cycle and examine their own racism, which allows that racism to keep passing from one generation to the next. so yeah, white people all contribute. we're all responsible. i know for a fact i still have white supremacist bullshit kicking around in my subconscious. i've been digging that stuff out of my psyche for years and i still find more of it.
This was my point.
That their aversion to social justice is to avoid moral culpability for the ways in which their actions have furthered forms of bigotry.
Ultimately systems should bear most of the blame, but we cannot ignore the way people subconsciously contribute to it. It is not lib shit to try and root it out.
