Proof that identity politics is a cancer and serves the purpose of dividing and conquering the left into an endless number of subgroups and divisions.
is the worst I can find, which, yeah isn't the best take in the world but I wouldn't necessarily assume they mean "intersectionality is bad and the only vector of oppression we should struggle against is class". I know that's how stupidpol uses it but some people aren't online enough to know that/use the rhetoric anyway. IT's kind of like how some people on twitter were calling out "working class" as a dogwhistle for white rural/suburbanites, because they'd only seen dogwhistling reactionaries use the term and were suspicious marxists were all dogwhistling reactionaries.
Absolutely understand if seeing that here could make you uncomfortable though.
Was that the one you were talking about or were there worse takes I missed?
Honestly, I checked out stupidpol yesterday after another thread mentioned it, and there was nothing there resembling a class perspective on identity politics, literally just people whining about anti-white racism and trans people playing sports. You could switch out most stupidpol threats with the comment section of Joe Rogans’s YouTube and no one would notice.
