When a communist is a communist, they tell us to speak to “the Russians”. When a Russian is a communist, its because they “never lived under the USSR”. If they’ve lived in the USSR, its because they were the “elites”. If they weren’t, then they were “brainwashed”. Maybe, just maybe, anti-communism just has no real scientific substance and survives entirely on idpol…
Damn, thanks for the detailed post
I really liked the hbomberguy vid you linked. I’ve always thought it was liberals’ idpol that pushed corporations to evolve and adapt but it totally makes sense that it could’ve been the other way around where corporations pushed extreme idpol to push their crap by associating them with identities
Never used really used tumblr or 4chan so that bit was insightful too
If you’re new to that sort of thing, there are quite a lot of leftist videos on Gamergate that will break it down. It might unironically be the most important event in pop culture. People in the global south with no connection to the event even use memes that spawned from it.
As far as corporations pushing garbage-tier idpol, though, we have to be careful not to allow it to discredit CRT or Intersectionality. That means they win.
