  • The problem is that most “anti racism” campaigns are just low ganging “white men bad” bullshit. They don’t actually tackle the source of racism or actually do anything to help minorities, since that would cost actual money.

    So they just attack white men, which alienates working class people because they are getting fucked by the system just like the rest of us schmoes.

    In reality it’s another way to divide the working class against each other, because Cletus from Alabama is getting fucked just like Wayne from the Bronx, but they are both being pitted against each other by the ultra rich and mega corps.

    The right latches onto the anger of Cletus and tells him it’s all Wayne’s fault the left rushes to the side of Wayne and tells him Cletus is a racist piece of shit that needs to be knocked down a peg.

    Meanwhile, Chad is siphoning both their 401ks and laughing his ass off from his mansion.




  • Absolutely. My baseline is that I want everyone to be treated equally and with respect. I want everyone have the same protections from the government and everyone to be allowed to be and to love whoever they want.

    Past that, it gets into minutia I just can’t get on board with and it’s hurting the left as a whole because people are trying to force language and thought policing on people, which I don’t like, it’s authoritarian, and I think it’s a losing strategy.

    Remeber for a while there used to be this website you’d create a link, which would direct you to a portal that would type your question into Google and hit enter. It was let me google that for you dot com or something.

    It always felt like such a passive aggressive dick move 😂 when people just wanted answers from a real human they could interact with

    We’re all stupid about some things, but googling stuff has genuinely gotten harder these days. The answers are full of ads and AI garbage
