I haven't seen this kind of scratched liberalism since the outrage against account pronoun preferences years back.

Maybe "struggle session" is the wrong term because there's a clear and obvious side for comrades and another for scratched liberals.

Maybe Hexbear needs occasional flypaper sessions for the community's health.

You hit the core of what lmayo people often either can't or won't understand; it's about systems, not individuals.

and now that you bring it up i wonder how much liberal capitalitalist hyper individuality and meritocracy contributes to protecting whote supremacy.

    liberal capitalitalist hyper individuality

    This is a primary support system for white supremacy. From it spawns "I got mine, fuck you" and a number of other social poisons that maintains the white supremacist status quo.

    When personal identity is perceived as something bought and worn like Twitter flair emojis, it makes being a disadvantaged person seem like a choice.
