To blame the current situation on the contemporary left is to give a floating signifier around superficial political alienation more importance than most of them have ultimately shown worthy of having. It isn't even failure. You aren't important enough to have a mission to fail.
"you're not important" lol yeah, after skimming a bit I can see why these useless no-materialism PMC podcasters would have this belief! There's no need for all those big words, it's easy to see why these woke radlib are unable to differentiate themselves from neoliberalism, except by whining about how weak and powerless you are. (were ultralefts "powerless" when they helped the CIA overthrow Ukraine's government, and are now bravely dismissing and scoffing at the idea of anti-imperialism on their PMC podcast?)
"@As_a_worker" more like "@As_a_woke_Brooklyn_finance_imperialist"
The author dresses it up in vapid pseudo-intellectual prose but all they're really saying is that leftists are all LARPers and it doesn't make sense to blame them for when Democrats lose because they have zero influence on electoral politics.
Well...isn't that essentially correct? Electoralism is a loser.
I think OP's point was that it's the same left-punching drivel as usual from neoliberals only with even more syllables and condescension than usual?
I am so out of it.
Probably not worth losing sleep over it :shrug-outta-hecks:
