Like this guy Alex Ramos in the title. Just want to analyze this phenomena, it's so weird to me. My girlfriend is from cuba and thinks it's bizarre as well.

    I mean I also consider myself an intersectionalist. But it only really works because conservative ideology is too damn stupid to stop being racist/sexist/homophobic for five seconds. If conservatives genuinely dropped the social bigotry towards certain groups while still discriminating against others, a ton of people would flake, as the shared experience of being oppressed goes away.

      They'd lose their best leverage for maintaining the libertarian hellstate they've constructed: huge numbers of racist white people will oppose good governance if it also helps minorities. They can't drop their white supremacy because it is and has always been one of the pillars that allows capitalism to operate.

      Not to mention how important it is for imperialism.
