Nah fam, race and social issues VERY much matter to me, but we must contexualize them as issues being used to divide the Prolitariat who at the very root of the matter have very similar goals politically, but are very easily distracted from them by right wing grifters using them to keep the Prolitariat divided. I 100% agree that bigots need to be called out and corrected, but i dont believe that is capable of being achieved by arguing against their view in the cultural war. The only way to get them to change their views is by pointing out logical hypocrisies on very root issues they care about, such as Corporations robbing the working class, and thereby slowly building their class conciousness and letting them realize their enemy isnt a liberal/leftist that cares about social issues or refuges seeking a better life, but the Corporations and 1% that have kept their rage misdirected for decades.
If the strategy is to write so much that nobody reads it, it's working.
Thinking Class and social issues can be discussed in a few sentences... 🤨
The world's only complicated if you're obfuscating something.
that's such a wild thing to say lol. if you're looking at the world and it seems self-evidently simple, you are missing something.
Wrote a paragraph explaining how you are wrong, but it was definitely too long for you to read so I'll not waste my time and just block you instead.
This is the way. 👍
No, the world is plenty complicated. You just appear to be only able to parse soundbite level media.
You realize you're on a site that has words to read
