“As someone who used to buy into Kmele, Coleman Hughes, Sam Harris, Hitchens, Glenn Loury, John McWhorter, arguments on race and culture. Please do yourself a favor and balance your diet on these takes.
This is newly packaged culture war rhetoric to put “individual responsibility” on extremely underprivileged groups of people, with no discussion around class politics or unregulated capitalism influence on our government.
There is sooo much to criticize on woke politics that has taken over DNC language, but it’s a sliver of what is actually important, and I would argue a response to right wing culture war rhetoric to solidify white suburban affluent types to vote for them. That’s it. Nothing more.
If you’re reading this, please YouTube people like Adolph Reed, Cornel West, Michael Brooks, Matt Christman from Chapo, Michael Parenti, Matt Taibbi. Not only do they criticize Woke identity politics, but the they do it in a way that actually identifies a common enemy, Huge corporations.
Even if you don’t agree with their socialist messages, you will quickly realize that all people of Sullivan/Kmele’s ilk are doing, is reifying a broken capitalist system through culture arguments.
If we don’t break into a better conversation about political change, we are all doomed.
Thanks for reading.”
