I shouldn't get involved in comment sections, but the takes below DSA national's RBG post were just to tasty to resist.

Update: Dude went full ethnofash a few minutes later, said I should only stand in solidarity with white, non-feminist workers, and said Tucker Carlson was a real cool dude.
I mean, in their mind this is the same as us dunking on someone who works at Walmart for defending capitalism.
They're trying to appeal to/build a conciousness of what they see as acting for/against their race like we'd try to appeal to/build class conciousness. Which is fucked up, don't get me wrong, but I don't think this necesarily belies an inability/unwillingness to be altruistic.
I mean, is altruism even required to believe in and pursue justice? I just can't even.
I did in my follow up. It's such a bizarre leap to make from "willing to fight for others" to "unwilling to fight for oneself."
Fair. I have an uncle I literally avoid even looking at at family things.
How fucking dumb is it to only build solidarity with white workers. You're building the racial resentment for your boss to exploit.
His last comment before I noped out: "Do you think your generosity and empathy will be reciprocated? Will intersectional leftists show you solidarity in exchange? No! The things leftist want HURT people like you! They are anti-white; they support reparations, mass migration, BLM riots, feminism, cancel culture... This is the reason why former Obama voters switched to voting for Trump in 2016. This is the reason why the Labour Party in the UK is losing support. Working-class white people are waking up and realizing that the left doesn’t care about them. So should you. The Democratic Party is the party for nonwhites. Every white person should be a Republican."
