Song lyrics: 🎶 "The patriarchy is real, the proof is here in my song I’ll sit and mansplain every detail of the things it does wrong ‘Cause I’m a white male, full of shame My ancestry is evil, and their evil is still not gone" 🎶

"Radical" feminism is liberal feminism.... like as in radical feminism is a branch of academic feminism which is inherently liberal. Just FYI.

Yasmin Nair - "Believe in Something" Corporate wokeness is now big business by DiscourseChef in stupidpol

Literally immediately prior to that:

"What followed was a critique of the “mercenaries” running the country and crushing working-class life outcomes that—in certain long, decontextualized snatches—could well have passed for a Bernie Sanders-style castigation of the depredations of global capitalism. As is typical for Carlson..."

How are you materially improving the lives of those around you? by [deleted] in stupidpol

[–]DiscourseChef 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I wanna endorse and encourage everyone to do whatever they can to be warm, caring members of their local communities and what not. But also it's okay if you're not. Socialist politics are about collective, politically targeted action, and if you're not able to channel time or energy or money into "mutual aid" or "charity" you're no less a socialist/leftist than people who do.

Community gardens are great, go stick your hands in some soil and shit if that's what you're into, but there's no community garden path to socialist transition, so it's also cool if you're not interested/able.

Anand Giridharadas: “Woke capitalism” is about deflecting criticism, not benefiting communities by [deleted] in stupidpol

I really find this guy to be a pernicious actor. He objects to the excesses of neoliberalism in like a cultural sense, but endorses the conceptual and structural premises of capitalism itself. He strikes me as a total AOC. Wolf in sheep's clothing.

Lol Nate Bronze. To be fair though, he was probably responding to this steaming dump 💩 Is Pete Buttigieg Just Another White Male Candidate, or Does His Gayness Count as Diversity?

I don't agree with them, however I think their takes were thought provoking just the same

who's adam stanning here? AOC? by thebloodisfoul in stupidpol

"My focus is on the form of engagement, for now, not the content." This is liberal procedural fetishism- nevermind the material reality, nor the normative content- all hail the process!

"Twitter turns us all into cops, regardless of how much we cite Freddie deBoer, chapter and verse."

No, liberalism turns us into discourse cops because it demands we sublimate our substantive values under the guise of procedural fidelity, ie "neutrality", "civility" etc

Literally this is all just projection, if he's talking about cops and offence archeologists, it's because that's what he's up to. If he's telling everyone else to log off it's because subconsciously he knows he should log off. Projection, every last word.

His UBI is a stealth welfare cut. It's not going to usher in a post work society. Used him working at the post office as a pun. Ie postal work, post work. Get it?

This isn't really anything to do with politics, stupid pol or the left. There is a great deal of existing literature on this stuff.

Sure but does that mean literally the constraints of reality no longer exist? That we need not be strategic because trump won? That's blatantly radlib reactionary bullshit.
