A woman who was in the news for like 2 days over six years ago for impersonating a black woman. No that wasn't "good" on her part, of course, but jfc move on. I think it says a lot about stupidpolers. They miss all the nuance in her story, like how it clearly wasn't some craven career move (white people can work for the NAACP, especially in a place like Spokane). IIRC she had a really messed up, traumatic childhood; and I'm sure all this had something to do with coping with that. Not to mention by all accounts she was good at her job and did a lot for the black community in Spokane.

They think her story is some epic own of the idea of identification but... it isn't? They implicitly turn her story into thinly veiled transphobia, which is just straight up gross.

Just like chuds (see Jussie Smollett) focus on one person, they hone in on the actions of one person out a population of like 330 million. They criticize the actions of one person instead of thinking analytically about broader issues regarding race, identity, and capitalism. Because it's easy and doesn't require much thinking.

God I just really hate stupidpoler / nazbol types, you all can fuck off with your class reductionism and join up with the chuds. Losers.

    One of the regulars over at r/SouthAfricanleft regularly posts on the stupididpol sub and has a local word for c*nt in their username. It's weird because they follow all the rules laid out by the mods in the SAleft sub about being inclusive, etc, and genuinely seem to be a good person, but spend so much time on the stupididpol sub. I honestly can't figure it out.

      They want to receive the solidarity of the left without giving any.

        I don't think it's that, they've shown solidarity before, as much as you can online. I think that they're just brainwormed because the "liberation party" has been in power for 25+ years and there hasn't been much liberation
