I googled it so you don’t have to.
The 3 or 4 times I’ve heard someone use that word here on Lemmy to describe what they don’t like, they’ve been pretty up front that it’s about identity politics. IE they hate that trans people want to identify as a gender other than the one they were born with.
So this is making it look like they’re just putting “identity” into a bigger word and making it sound fancier.
That definition appears inconsistent with how that word was used in the tweet. What is the leftist version?
Trying to find ideological consistency in this one might be a fool’s errand, I’m sorry to say.
Pim tool is not what you would call a “smart” or “consistent” person… I’m fact, person may not even be the best descriptor for them.
It’s identity politics, but smart-sounding!
If add more letters, big brain sound!
There isn’t one.
Wow, he’s the guy in the Matt Bors comic:
I had an argument with my neighbor a few months ago. He was dead serious that it’s the Democrats’ fault for making young men Nazis. His arguments were basically exactly what this comic is saying. If you tell someone that hating minorities is wrong, that just makes them hate even harder.
There’s lot of these chuds on reddit nowadays
I don’t believe it’s your first time tim
Might be his first time voting
Dude has no idea what he’s saying and is just throwing labels around to sound smart. Hilariously, he might be outing himself as a racist too.
The supposedly “PC” left is full of fucking obnoxious and annoying brats who don’t know anything about morality, anthropology, history, political theory, and basic statistics. They demonize white men en masse incessantly and condescend to any who challenge their half-baked fan-fictions or propose some sort of nuance to their premises. Many of them base their entire personalities on their mental illnesses and grievances.
But I still voted for Harris because, fundamentally, that’s better odds of survival for the environment, unions, women’s autonomy, protections for whistleblowers, antitrust measures, counters to Russian and CCP aggression, and basically everything else that actually matters to the survival of the species and our federal republic. IT DOESN’T REQUIRE A GRADUATE DEGREE TO FIGURE THAT OUT, TIMMY, YOU BALD CUCK.
Adults don’t abandon their principles because of some dumbasses “on their side”. And by the way, Harris was a dogshit corporatist establishment candidate that I’d NEVER vote for if given different circumstances.
One of the basic tenets of the left is also that you don’t need to be accepted/accepting. People who leave the left because someone insulted them didn’t get the message in the first place.
Man, I remember a video I saw like 7 years ago. Two black college students were reading the riot act to a white kid for having dreadlocks. Like, I get it, but pick your battles. That is not your enemy. The left needs to recognize when they’re overreacting because it just gives the right ammo for their nonsense gun. Because the voters the dems are losing, who barely pay attention, will have stronger reactions to trash like this than they have to nuanced defenses of bidens record in the post pandemic economy.

Wonder how would they react to this:
The earliest written reference of locks is found in Vedic scriptures, holy Hindu texts dating back to 1500BC, in which Lord Shiva’s hair is referred to as ‘jata’, a sanskrit word meaning “twisted locks of hair”. In almost all visual depictions of Lord Shiva, he is seen with locks of hair flowing past his shoulders or tied above his head in what is called, ‘jatamukuta’ (crown of matted hair). For devotees, Shiva’s hair is of such importance that the sacred river Ganges is believed to flow from his matted locks. The earliest archaeological evidence of locks is found in the mummified remains of Ancient Egyptians as well as from the pre-Colombian Incan civilisation in Peru.

But the issue is that Democratic representatives get punished for the actions of a tiny subset of their voters.
If we’re talking about Tim Poole in relation to this post, then his “punishment” is still just someone willing to abandon his principles because of the screeching of annoying people. Still a spineless idiot.
If we’re talking about the electorate as a whole, the blame lies on the DNC and the entrenched corporatists who continuously handwave away the concerns of the working class and pander to the screeching harpies, billionaire class, and supposed GOP “moderates”.
That makes for very schizophrenic campaign messaging. Which is their fault, and why they need to be voted out.
Yeah, I know. Things shouldn’t be like that but they fucking are. I think I could have been more precise with my criticism. Instead of the left I maybe should have said msnbc and the type of liberalism it represents. I never watch it but I did during the election. It’s not hard to figure out why people hate them. These are the people who barely pay attention and not voting for democrats.
I would define it as “corporatist neo-liberalism”, which is the real enemy from within of what remains of the political left of the United States.
Watch the recent video of sam seder (Majority Report) going on tim pool’s podcast, he shits on tim pool so bad, tim pool is a pathetic, hateful loser.
Can you provide a link? I don’t watch a lot of his stuff so I don’t know if I should be looking at his video from an hour ago or something older.
Hey that’s newsdude Cody Johnston!
I bet Warmbo made him post on Twitter.
By the numbers, no one changes sides this election. The reason Kamala lost is about 10 million democrats just decided the presidential election isn’t worth the voting line.
Aka I got paid by a foreign actor under the table to push my audience further to the right.
I hope he walks into a speeding bus.
you gotta be really comfortable in your world to fuck it up that bad
Fuck you, face!
Nose flies off in an arc.
What’s under the hat, Tim?
Take it off, you bald, insecure bitch. I did.
As soon as I lose my hair I’ll embrace the shit out of it.
Once I started noticing my hair was thinning, I was like, “fuck it. I’ll just shave it all off.” I did that for a while, but it appears I’m still able to grow out a decent Jew fro.
Current level: Art Garfunkel.
I was like Albert Einstein x 2 in high school, so I’m curious to see how far this will go.
Hello greyness, my old friend… 🎶
Get off my lawn again… 🎶
It’s the best move. I started losing my hair at nineteen and when my (very immature) crush eventually saw me without a hat on, she started cracking up and said I had old man hair. That shit disappeared from my head real quick. Didn’t waste much more time with her either.
So far I’m lucky, late 30s with no sign of alopecia. However if my father is any indication, I should start losing them around mid 50s, so bald I will go at this point.
(before getting people triggered, I don’t agree with the guy and did vote for Harris. Can’t wait until the maga cult dies off.)
I mean, there are a small group of people on the left being racist/sexist in the open making every part of “white cis straight male” as pejorative as possible. Calling to even exterminate them on twitter. You know, the kind of people that don’t want to end oppression but instead wants to switch roles. They want revenge, not peace. Of course foreign bots too, to sow discord. Right picks up that and amplifies it to seem the entire left thinks and acts like that. Worse yet, this small group tends to go and yell at regular, common sense people who agree on equality instead of going to yell at true racists/misogynists/homophobes because that’d be dangerous. A regular person walks in eggshells because saying something isn’t sanctioned by these people can get you fired, since the companies don’t want the PR disaster. Meanwhile, people in the middle of the country losing their jobs due to factories closing or not making enough to survive seeing people discussing bathrooms for minorities (it is important but let’s not forget priorities). It’s easy to see how that would push people to the other side, because frankly you don’t have options. Of course Trump is another league, extremist, criminal (basically mocking criminal justice by dodging everything while committing crimes in the open), likely compromised by foreign countries, and endorsing the worst in the right. But hey, no choices. I’d love to see maga/republicans split in two parties and democrats and progressists in another 2. Give people more fine grained choices.

One giant difference between the right and left here is that the right isn’t a small group of racists/sexists. They ALL are. In no way is someone pushing them towards that ideology, they’ve already chosen it and are just making excuses.
Voting republican makes you racist/sexist? Then voting democrat makes you a genocide lover? Or supporting getting oral sex from employees? Nobody ever votes for one side because it’s perceived the less bad option? I’d recommend going out of your bubble and talk to other people, you’ll find a lot of them are nice on both sides and you disagree in way less ways than the propaganda wants you to believe.
Voting republican makes you racist/sexist?
Yes. Very few people on the left actually liked being stuck with Harris, hence the loss. The MAGA cultists, on the other hand, enthusiastically voted for a geriatric felon / sex pest who is openly racist.
70,980,347 genocide lovers, counting me. I enthusiastically voted, not against a piece of crap of a person, but for genocide. Everyone republican is MAGA, every democrat has posters of dead palestinian kids in their walls. 32 bit colors is a waste, make everything black and white.
Find me a Trump voter who isn’t MAGA and I’ll find you a Harris voter who supports the genocide 🤷♀️
I know personally 3 people, 2 from work, one neighbor closely. Reasonable, pro equality in all fronts and not MAGA. We still don’t agree on abortion (none of them want to ban abortion), guns (none think we should hand AR15s to anyone), how big the government should be. They don’t like Trump, but don’t want democrats. The “ALL republicans are racist/sexist” is absurd and that’s what my last comments are about. While people on both sides demonize and make assumptions on the other side, this divide will keep getting bigger.

And yet they voted for Trump because…?
And you honestly believe their vote for the openly racist queerphobe doesn’t make them racist/queerphobic?
If you voted for Hitler in WWII Germany, you don’t get out of the negative labels that come with that decision because you “don’t like the other party.”
What happened was the young far left alienated every ally by calling them Nazis. Nobody was left enough for anyone this election, and I have never seen so much intolerance and straight up racism coming from the far left like I did this election. If you hated Joe Biden 8 years ago you’d be called a right winger, if you don’t hate him now you’re a Nazi apparently
