    i mean... they do it intentionally. feminism and racial equality are inherently leftists positions, so by co-opting and making them seem idiotic while also using their signaling to attack progressive policy is a move that is intended to drive a gap and separate the population as well as damage the positions themselves.

    we're kinda bent over on a barrel over this and they're forcing it to the point where the only thing they can't co-opt is that there is a class war. they've even tried it, but it's just so obvious even to rubes that it doesn't fly. for an example see how that fucking stock broker billionaire went on a rant complaining that a fair share is just a way of attacking 'people of wealth' after the whole GME thing.

    let me be clear that i'm not arguing from the point of someone who is for class reductionism, but i do understand how a lot of people fall into the idea, at least people who are seemingly for equality everyone while still hailing the idea. most of them are probably just bigots though.
