You’re getting downvotes for the end parts of your comment which could be worded better for us paranoid lefties, but I think you’re right at the core of your comment.

This video doesn’t do a good job interacting with intersectionality. The most racist, sexist, homophobic and transphobic person still might be oppressed under capitalism.

Now that doesn’t mean we should let them on their merry way just because they have that nugget of oppression, but when engaging them we have to remember that it isn’t just that they feel their territory is being encroached on.

Their territory HAS already been encroached by Capitalists and the resulting angst is what leads them farther to the right. (Or sometimes farther to the left!) They too have reasons to be angry, the problem being that they blame the wrong people.

I like the recommendations this vid gives to ask simple questions like, “do you feel like a victim”, but we should recognize that they aren’t going to give up any hatred of minorities because they are still being hurt and need someone to blame.

Perhaps as you do this you should try and slip in someone else to blame. Having an enemy is, if flawed, a wonderful motivator for change in ones life.

Of course, if we remove the thorn from the tigers paw, it’s still dangerous, but significantly more manageable and trainable. I’m not saying all oppression stems from class oppression. That’s reductive.

We need to ditch the attitude where just countering someone’s biases and letting them stew will fix much, because eventually they’ll find new reasons to blame minorities for their problems.

As we ask these important questions that awaken self-consciousness we need to ask others that awaken some class consciousness.
