    She may have singlehandedly done more to make me a leftists than any other person on Twitter. Me unfollowing her and me becoming a marxists happened simultaneously.

      i am sympathetic to, well not her, but many people that think like her. we live in a fucking fascist racist country with zero class consciousness. but this is just so wild to me. i almost dont think she even genuinely believes it anymore.

        I went through that thread painfully and ooohweee every take is just as bad if not worse. There’s a couple where she’s like we need to protect BlPOC and LGBTQ people, but beyond that it’s just democratic caping.

        Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton who she’s defending hate marginalized groups. Coming from a black feminist background I whole heartedly believe in intersectionality and have my own criticisms of the left when they fail to recognize the importance, but holy shit I’m not going to prop up ghouls because of it.

        But she doesn’t come from a black feminism understanding of the world. She comes from being a lawyer (a democrat) and uses black feminism to try and promote liberalism, it’s disgraceful really. Every tweet she knows she’s going to get called out for foreclosing on people’s homes, but seems incapable of understanding the relevance.

        I see it as either a psyop, or someone who has absolutely no concept of what words fucking mean. The two are functionally the same when it's someone shitposting into the void.

          i think she just has bernie sanders derangement syndrome tbh and forms her ideology around that? im not sure. but i am sympathetic to what some here would call "race reductionism" like i truly get why many people would think in this way, good well meaning people too.
