They think making fun of minorities but supporting leftist economic causes makes them “punx” or whatever.

Straight up pieces of shit.

I dont understand why we tolerated them among us for so long on the old subreddit

      It was a sub for leftists who were overly critical of identity politics (idpol), basically class reductionists. A lot of them (all?) used it as an excuse to not analyze some racist biases they probably grew up with and as happens all the time, when poc called them out on it it activated their hitler gene and they doubled down to the point of being pretty damn racist usually lol

      The old CTH sub and them would beef pretty regularly before it got banned lol

      You know how if you dig deep enough on tumblr, you can find someone who, by combining the language of intersectional feminism with sniffing their own farts, has found a way to argue… I don’t know, white people having houseplants that don’t originate from Europe is actually cultural appropriation?

      What if we dedicated an entire forum to finding and mocking people like that, from a nominally leftist position, so we can justify class reductionism? Then we could act really surprised when nazis join in too, but fail to do much about it, and just become a nazi forum that sometimes complains about capitalism. Welcome to stupidpol.
