That's like saying you think everyone on the right is a white nationalist, Hitler loving, conservative Christian and that you think so because you're on the left.Not sure how to respond to this. I don;t have to project anything about what the right thinks? They have broadcast organs? They really do think that you're a crypto-marxist out to destroy america.....?
(which is ironic...because -I'm- the crypotmarxist, but not a liberal voter...lol.)
Quote:You still haven't demonstrated that politics = identity politics either. So I can agree to disagree. No big deal.Well..sure, we can always agree to disagree..but that doesn;t mean that something hasn;t been shown. Again..what political issue -isn't- two or more groups vying for limited political authority?
Quote:And yet, arguing identity politics HAS proven to be political and social suicide for some on the left as well as the right, so you're just flat out wrong; it's not only a problem for people on the right.It's only suicidal for you. Identity politics is a pro to the right. That's their brand. You and the right aren't playing the same game, by the same rules.
Quote:And I just said it's not one-sided, that BOTH sides have been outed for not subscribing to the status quo? Are you retarded or just not reading what I'm actually writing? Right-wing folks are using identity politics on their own people as much as the left is. The idea that there's some conspiracy by the right to use identity politics to turn people on the left against each other is just bizarre and paranoid.Is it? That would suggest that analytics are "bizarre and paranoid".The right has overtly used the issue of "identity politics"...as they tell it, to turn the left into a bickering morass of endless defense and offense. It's their new wedge..and they don't exactly try to hide that?
Quote:Jesus khemikal the shit you say sometimes is so dumb it's honestly alarming how you always think you're right about everything. Talking to you is like throwing ice at a brick wall. The sad part is is you will go to your grave thinking you have it figured out, that's just the type of person you seem to be. Maybe you're different in real life, who knows? Interacting with you is almost always a complete waste of time and energy.
Yes yes yes..I'm a dumb dumby because I'm suggesting something terrifying. That the left has been wholly gamed by the right to the point that the left is now breathlessly repeating nutball alt right propaganda. The trouble with this theory, is that the left actually -is- doing that. That's the rightward shift.
