I think it’s very telling so many here immediately read this as a dig against themselves when in all honesty Mike was most likely talking about the type of soft “leftists” we would’ve branded as stupidpol back in the day, the type who continuously call us “woke scolds” over on r/Trueanon or the former r/deprogram sub
The type who will in all honesty hate on AOC for all the WRONG reasons
And I’m not gonna make a big deal about the fact someone in this thread just used the number one destiny op smear about Mike from PA, but in the context of the tweet I think that’s really fuckin funny
The purpose and thesis of stupidpol continues to elude me to this day. It’s truly an enigma and I’m not kidding and I’m not exaggerating and I gave an honest try to understand and despite being a leftist and terminally online I didn’t get it
“Socialism” but only for white people, that’s it, that was the pathos and ethos…r/Stupidpol was founded because a bunch of chapo posters were banned for arguing that Native Americans were ethno-nationalists who should be marginalized politically
Too many here have forgotten alot of those cockroaches pollute so-called countless “socialist” spaces online and that our takes on AOC dont remotely register on the broader discourse
Which is why it’s so concerning so many in this thread believe Mike was referring to them specifically, Mike doesn’t even know we exist
Makes me feel small every time someone calls a liberal a leftist. Or like I’m more extreme for wanting unions and healthcare. From my POV a genocide is a pretty extreme position
It was started by Marxists who thought if that if they criticized liberal identity politics enough they could get reactionaries to develop class consciousness. Total idealism, but unfortunately that describes most of the US left.
