@oddfox@mastodon.socialI'm so tired of the bar being 10 miles underground at this point when it comes to American politics. The fact that an anti-semitic white nationalist homophobic and transphobic bigot gets featured (and praised!) by a big-name dumbass like Greenwald reminds me of the uncomfortably numerous people I've seen in Leftist spaces online reveal themselves as Populists with no meaningful concept of solidarity. Feels so gross knowing how close I was to getting funneled into that bullshit.
I went from a hard-Left teen to a centrist dweeb before returning to those hard-Left roots during the 2016 primaries. I was naive enough to believe Tulsi and supported a Bernie/Tulsi ticket until she started going mask-off and while I continued to move Left I saw a lot of people go from valid points like "Liberals enable Fascists and often share some of the same beliefs" to "Trump was better than Biden" and I couldn't help but notice the demographics of that group. Plenty of CisHet white dudes.
