Who are literally any of these people, and what makes them "post-left" rather than "right wing with leftish cultural signifiers"?
the only thing i think that separates them for a regular, run of the mill reactionary is their occasional use of marxist words. That's basically all I can tell, they are all just as regressive. And even then they only use maybe 4 marxist words tops lol.
Opinions like these used to be relegated to the wall of Men's rooms across the nation
If I am elected president, that's exactly where they'll go again
As my second platform point, there will only be neutral bathrooms
Eliminating the threat once and for all
making bathrooms (and therefore bathroom wall writing) genderless will destroy a key element of my culture
It's actually absurd how rent free trans people live in these people's heads. Like it must be seriously exhausting to be such a gender or genital cop.
I would like to warn against giving the "post left" label to any Twitter idiot who whines about vampires and the DSA. Some people are advancing salient critiques of "the left," but also some people are just real obnoxious.
double underlining my own post: NOT EVERYONE WHO SAYS THEY USED TO BE A LEFTIST IS A "POSTIE"
Can someone explain to me why the fuck post-left people are almost always so fucking weird?
"at the DSA meeting someone asked for my pronouns now i think hitler had some good ideas actually"
Oh, well that’s useless. Why the fuck believe in leftism at all if you’re full doomer?
because they are nothing more than contrarians and when you are anti-everything you find yourself in odd positions
people who constantly confuse liberals and leftist to make ridiculous strawmen, especially about ID Pol shit. Usually in bad faith but also some (most?) were never actually leftist, they may just like the idea of certain social programs it seems
Oh so they’re woke nazis that are too chickenshit to just say the quiet part outloud.
a tendency that arose out of anarchism but now because all of the left is on the internet it means anyone who needs attention on the birdsite. ignore the other answers people are giving. i am specifically shitting my pants over decontextualization, ahistoricity, and definition decay here.
Same, lol. Obviously it is impossible to have real critiques of leftist programs of revolutionary politics without also being whatever flavor of reactionary these nobodies are, no I will not look into this at all.
Read Desert.
Ok, what's in the Steven Universe thread? I know I'm gonna regret asking, lay it on me
...did they not actually watch the movie? Or, for that matter, the show?
i couldn't actually find the twitter thread, but i assume thats how some people think
"I'm an Orthodox Marxist"
"Oh yeah, which Marx texts have your read?"
"I read the first page of the manifesto, but it started too get to tankie after that"
In this context, if a guy who drops slurs in CSGO read The Culture of Narcissism then Capitalist Realism
if Varg Vikernes became a Bernie Bro
This is like trying to find the square root of zero
trendy grifters and a bunch of class reductionists who don't like that intersectionality is a large part of leftism.
Posties are the kinda people to groom a 14 year old trans girl and say its praxis
