    Try looking up the correlation between the Occupy movement in '08 and the rise in race-based discussion in the media that came right afterwards ;)

        I think they were pointing to the media trying to shift the focus to race. “You’re problem isn’t because you’re poor, it’s because of all those nasty people who are different to you”.

        Anything to prevent class consciousness and organization.

          Pretty sure that was the response to Occupy rather than Occupy itself.

          Occupy was too egalitarian for comfort, too the upper crust.

      Riiight… it cannot possibly be the white supremacism that’s so fundamental to US society - it must be the Alphabet agencies!

        The white supremacists are willing idiots. I don’t doubt they were leveraged to inflame race relations, same way Russia took advantage of the BLM movement to create division.

          You cannot divide that which has already been divided, liberal.

              Oh look… a liberal that doesn’t know what the term “tankie” means.

              And like all liberals, you are desperate to hide how comfortable you are with white supremacism.

              Yawn.

                  I guess all the people protesting the genocide in Gaza is also just a sign of “foreign agents” infiltrating the US?

                  Liberalism really is a gross thing.

                And non-white liberals? Are they simply self hating, because they disagree with you?

                Frankly, at this point, I find the concept of you being a leftist utterly laughable. You’re indistinguishable from a conservative cosplaying as a “leftist” to show how rude and insensible they are.

                That kind of has a nice ring to it actually. I’ll be seeing you around, conservative.
