Its such an infuriating thread: the person that posted this is a former Black Panther turned anti-socialist Khiver, there are a ton of leftist pointing out Fred Hampton was literally assassinated by police and the FBI for resisting their occupation, followed by a bunch of white people (including British white people) furious anyone has the temerity to question this extremely stupid thing this person posted but all they can do is deflect by saying she's a black women and former Black Panther so shut-up. And it turns out she never acutally met Fred Hampton despite all her defenders implying she worked with him.

Like if you want an example of how liberal identity politics is a co-optation and bastardization of the original socialist conception of identity politics, and only used for the purpose of defending the status quo, its this thread.
