Well, White Supremacy is also the politics of identy, i.e. Identity Politics.

The Racism is the seeing of other human beings as defined above all by the genetics they were born with (i.e. race, gender, sexual orientation), the religious affiliation they got from their parents or the geographical location they were born in and then presuming things about them based on that (which is quite literally Prejudice), it's not in which specific race/gender/sexual-orientation/religion/nationality you see as good/victims or bad/oppressors.

One is not any less Racist when, for example, the race whose people one presumes are "good people" is not White - the Racism is the making presumptions about people based on their race, so the specific races such a prejudiced person thinks are "good" or "bad" are entirelly relevant in determining if the one making presumptions is a Racist or not.

Ultimatelly, all such "identity" groups have good people and bad people, and when they're in a situation with power and no accountability, bad people do bad things independently of their "identity".

This Racism of the modern self-identified Identity Politics practicioners was made painfully obvious by how the Liberals in places like the US and Germany reacted to the Israeli Genocide in Gaza - for years they've been prejudiced about people based on their ethnicity whilst passing that shit as anti-racism because their list of "good ethnicities" and "bad ethnicities" was different from that of the traditional racists, and one of the "good ethnicities" in their worldview was Jews and when it turned out that the self-proclaimed representatives of all Jews - Israel - was led by some trully horrible people who were mass murdering people based on their ethnicity, out came the Liberals in its defense because of the ethnicity it claimed to represent (and often being very overt about how it was all due to ethnicity, such as how Scholz in Germany and Biden in the US very overtly stating their "unwavering support for the Jewish Nation"), and further making their prejudices and racism obvious with the ultra-racist claim that Israel represented the Jewish Religion even when many Jews said it did not, and the even more extreme racist accusations of anti-semitism against those demonstrating against the Israeli Genocide (imagine how extremelly racist you have to be to claim that being against Genocide is being against the Jewish Religion, which logically is the same as saying Genocide is a Jewish thing). These self-proclaimed anti-racists didn't drop their support for Israel as anybody driven by principles would have done based on their actions, they doubled down on it and did it very overtly based solely on the ethnicity that country claims to represent, exactly like all the other Racists act.

This shit is no less Racists than supporting the government of Appartheid South Africa because of them being though of as White.

Anyways, the fairest and real Leftie take on unfairness and suffering is to correct the unfairness and suffering and go at it by descending order of intensity (i.e. start by going after the biggest ones), quite independently of the genetics the victims and perpetrators were born with or the "reasons" why some assholes - the tradition racists - go around inflicting pain on others: the action is that is wrong and must be punished and the hurt and harm to the victimed corrected and grabing the "logic" of the aggressor and twisting it around keeps the agressor's way of thinking alive and hence the unfairness of treatment, and just moves the unfairness around rather than stop it.

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.

Go back to your abandoned skatepark, Toolie.

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.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 4 days ago (5 children)

That definition appears inconsistent with how that word was used in the tweet. What is the leftist version?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago

Oop is infamously a moron on the political side of the internet. Whenever leftist content creators want cheap and easy dunks he’s the go to because he’s big enough to be fair game and dumb enough that it takes like no effort without being so big his fans will cause you problems.

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago

Feral baldling might be more appropriate.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 days ago (1 children)

It's identity politics, but smart-sounding!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago

If add more letters, big brain sound!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 days ago

There isn't one.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 4 days ago

Trying to find ideological consistency in this one might be a fool's errand, I'm sorry to say.

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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 days ago

Personally I'd rather watch it here instead of supporting Tim's channel directly https://youtu.be/hswyx8bYJHI

But you can also find it on Tim's channel from like a week or so ago.
