    Dunno how much more people need to see liberal idpol is literally nothing more than a cudgel to smear opponents and showcase performative virtue rather than a genuine commitment to struggle.

      That's what Stupidpol was supposed to be, or at least what I thought it was at first. Now it's just a bunch of racist losers.

        I've said before (off-the-cuff but it was surprisingly well-received) that stupidpol is just channer edgelords who realized UBI NEETbux is actually a "left" position

        Maybe a little less chipper, they're channer edgelords who want to recapture the mantle of being "subversives", which is only really possible on the left, while keeping their super edgy sense of "humor" they acquired as CHUDs.

      Saw this a lot during the NDP leadership race up here in Canuckistan. Saw a few times where someone would criticise Jagmeet's empty-suit naked opportunism and shitty politics they would get branded as a racist.

        That's why Obama was such a win for liberalism. It's so easy to call criticism of him racist, especially when so much of it already was.
