Getting some seriously bad vibes from this whole thing. It’s like they’ve found some way to inoculate people against even the barest sort of solidarity- I fear the coalition politics that won even the handful of concessions we got like obergefell might be dead. Granted, that’s exactly what i thought last time this happened too.
Someone’s trying to drive wedges, and it’s working. Divide and conquer by playing up (or creating) animus against one another. Clear as day yet people are walking right into it. What changed?
Worsening material conditions + manufactured culture of individuality prime people to turn against each other?
I don't have a lot of spoons today so no long diatribes from me. I'm just wondering what it was about the proletariat in Russia and China that made them easier to organize vs. Elsewhere.
Fascists have for a while now been appropriating leftist talking points and aesthetics, which at best muddies the water, and at worst gives fascists outright control.
