The right is way more hooked into the culture war, but plenty of leftist communities cannibalize each other via "no true Scots"-ing each other with intersectionality. I see very little patience or compassionate education on intersectionality, and instead see a competition about how quickly one can scold. Regardless of whether that's valid, it sure as hell makes it difficult to build bonds with other groups or onboard new folks to leftist ideas.

The diversion is the idea of rainbow capitalism. For example: fighting for the right for people of any identity to own slaves is not a valid goal and also won't "free the slaves." Ending slavery is the goal. Rainbow capitalism acts as a shell game to divert energy toward token concessions and labels them victories. Anti-racism and feminism should be (and I would say, are) at the core of any coherent flavor of leftism, but diverse oppression is still oppression and a rainbow flag on a Raytheon missile is not a win.
Edit: should have read the comment further down. Said what I meant but with gooder words.
Nah that's common to leftism in general.
No, that's explicitly the reason for it, and it's been shown to reduce the severity of crashes because people drive the speed limit when they feel it's risky to go faster.
I mean, the description of shitty misinformed pontification describes a pretty good chunk of Greek and roman philosophy. Have you read a lot of Aristotle?
Also fashy over and mid -tones
I'm astounded he tried cpr. As a rule, most of them won't do any CPR or first aid just in case "someone gets the jump on them." Literally told in an active shooter training that responsibility for first aid or CPR is on me, just in case.
I mean, they do care. It's a fundamental part of how fascism works, so they can't leave hypocrisy out.
The only thing modern Russia has in common with the USSR is territorial ambition. They don't have the life expectancy, the culture, the art, the principles, or improving quality of life. They don't even have the opposition to fascism. It's the result of capitalism's victory over and looting of the Soviet Union. MAGAT's will never have based flags.
There's quite a bit about American law (at least in practice if not theory) that's essentially "we all know he did it." Civil asset forfeiture, releasing mugshots to publicly shame people that haven't been convicted, etc. It's wrong but taking the high road doesn't work against fascism and doesn't stop those things from happening to the poor.
This is the hidden most based take in the thread.
It's worth mourning that someone in the custody of the state isn't being protected from attack. For every evil cop getting stabbed there's a ton more people (some of whom are innocent) who are subject to the same negligence and cruelty in the system.
