I understand why so many younger white go their way, but is there a way to roll a red carpet for the white youth without inviting in the fascism, or leaving an opening for white identity politics?
ContraPoints interview with The Economist
Fuck her, she’s litterally advocating for respectability politics like a fucking Democrat. Some endlessly scolds the left while never recognizing the need for the left to sometimes be abrasive because of the termendous amount of power the bourgeois brings down on suppressing their messages. The alt-right can play the PR game because they are under so such pressure.
It’s also hilarious how this cunt fawns over the alt-rights ability to appeal to the masses after their entire movement collapsed after Charlottesville. Where an alt-right fuck up sperged out so spectacularly that it created a Hollywood style spectacle that was played endlessly for months. The left has never done anything even half as equivalent. Where the fuck is all her criticism for the alt-rights inability to not fucking murder people and make their movement look bad.
Lol alt-right aren’t moderates. And your magical moderates that slide toward fascism were just sociopathic liberals,
*under no such pressure
Partly, yes its the left fault but mostly its class.
A "moderate" bourgeoise pig is still bourgeois, and his turn to fascism can simply be seen as him taking off the nice liberal mask.
Please resist the urge to "radicalize the bourgeois". They will laugh at you.
I definitely agree, reactionaries have the YouTube game on lock (though, YouTube is quickly growing tired of them and deplatforming them, a move which I don't disagree with in principle, worries me as to how they would treat far-leftists who gained a same level of notoriety.)
emphasize the social isolation and alienation brought on by modern capitalism, many of these guys are basically NEETs and are highly receptive to the idea that capitalist society has utter failed to imbue their life with any meaning, and how more and more the things they used to love about their nerdy hobbies are becoming more depersonalized, more marketable, another soulless commodity. Vidya was always a commodity, but the passion and love that drove developers to make vidya is more and more replaced with a callous drive for profit, and gamers see that. Once they've accepted that, it's not really hard to show them the same process consuming everything else. Anything that once transcended the world, that showed the beauty of man or expressed genuine artistic feeling, will become another depersonalized brand that corporations use to sell you shit.
You will note that this is somewhat divorced from class struggle. I believe that most suburbanites are just as alienated from their work as any poorer worker, and are compensated unfairly (though they undeniably maintain a higher standard of living). I do not believe this is a high priority for most suburbanites, nor is it the way in which capitalism most negatively effects their lives. I believe they're capable of understanding and identifying with class struggle, but in 2018, I don't believe that it's the right approach to start with. The suburban capitalist experience is different from others, and should be treated as such. They can be brought in line with the general movement later.
You can type stupid shit with as much of a smug aura as you want. Your smugness does not cover up your ignorance.
yeah this sounds nice, but as someone from suburbia, the only way you can say this is if you don't actually know anyone from the class you slander so. The only ones who have true happiness and agency under capitalism are the capitalists. I think the suburban middle class can certainly be shown the cause of their empty, meaningless lives.
This is literally the opposite of what she says
Watch the tabby video
The only argument she's making is the need to be more accessible to people who don't have a degree in the humanities and to stop with all the shibolleths so it isn't trivially easy for divide and conquer tactics to work which are both legitimate criticisms
No she isn’t, she’s preoccupying herself and her audience with a bunch of gossipy tribalism and high school clique politics while ignoring the tremendous material conditions that make the left necessary. And disconnecting her idpol from the fucking capitalist base that causes it and making it about people being “bad” or “ignorant” like a fucking liberal.
I did watch the tabby video, and all her other videos up to the incel one. That’s exactly what’s she’s saying. She tries to hide behind this bullshit fig leaf that’s she’s not taking sides. If she’s not taking sides why doesn’t she talk about the colossal fuck ups of the alt right and mainstream media as well like Charlotteville or the last half dozen wars.
I’m not “typing stupid shit” you anally devastated liberal. It’s a complete waste of time to try to reach out and out fascists. You’re just trying to make fascism seem like just another political strip with this “reach out to them” bullshit.
