Disclaimer: I love my fellow dirtballs on hexbear, a lot of you are just as remarkable as the people I’m talking about.
Every self identified Marxist Leninist I’ve ever met in this country is the most bohemian, well-read, emotionally intelligent person I’ve ever met. It’s not a large group of people but I am absolutely staggered by the absolute beacons of intelligence these people are. And I do feel like this translates to lemmy.ml. Whereas we still have vestiges of anti-intersectional, reactionary coded thinking of the dirtbag left that has taken over podcasts and the online left, .ml’s for the most part are very much traditionalists when it comes to informed and holistic materialist analysis.
Thank you for not being obsessed over shit like the ‘repercussions of woke 1.0’ or wondering how cool it would be if the entire American left was made up of coal miners from West Virginia.
The woke 1.0 discourse has been infuriating tbh
It’s so dumb, especially from pods like chapo. Shut up dude, we get it.
The 2010’s Brooklyn hipster contrarian influence goes so deep that they have to do both ‘I knew it before it was cool’ and ‘actually the things people want are bad’ about their own political positions
what is this woke 1.0?
