I, on the other hand, will start a sentence, -- something like, "but regardless, what really gets overlooked is..." -- and realize that from word 1, I didn't even have the concept of a point.
I realize, in that moment, that I was ENTIRELY reciting tokens.
You think you gave a narrow group. But my point is that "narrow groups" get very broad very quickly when heads start rolling.
How did that go for the objectively non-bourgeoisie who got caught up in Stalin's / Lenin's / Mao's anti-bourgeois campaigns?
Even Mao acknowledged innocent people got executed during his "counter-revolutionary" and land reform campaigns. And the number of prisoners Kruschev released from the Gulags would have been impossible if most of them were actually as harmful to Russia as they were accused of being.
Once the guillotines come out, everyone is calling everyone else bourgeois.
Having been on reddit too much the past few weeks, this is very refreshing.
These days, all the Reddit moderation is performed by Russian and Chinese troll farms and alt-right recruiters. And anything goes as long as it erodes faith in western, multicultural democracy.
So it's nice to see someone say, "Democrats are puppets, BUT ALSO! Republicans are the threat we must currently fight."
A pile of sentient filth crawls out of a sewer somewhere, and first thing conservatives want to do is make it into a State Senator.
How surprising.
From his Idaho GOP page: his number one priority is to remove rape and incest exceptions.
Issue 1 . The top issue for Idaho is to abolish the unnecessary, harmful and wasteful curse of abortion. I will introduce legislation that eliminates the current affirmative defense for having an abortion in accordance with state guidelines. The only exception to the prohibition on abortion is to save the life of the mother.
And then proceed to fill these echo chambers with [insert local conservative] has betrayed Trump and (by extension) the country!
I see the question differently.
Tl;Dr:
I think OP is hoping to read the 21st century equivalent to Muck Rakers.
Long version:
A whole lot of improvement in American quality of life came about as a result of publications and journalists called Muck Rakers in the 19th and 20th centuries.
They didn't cover false stories. They simply covered stories that newspapers owned by capitalists tried to cover up. Things like, "physical abuse inside of Factory A" or, "employees at factory B reject union contract."
It's similar with r/antiwork. Most of America never realized why PopTarts were shipped with serious defects for a few months in late 2021. To most people, the quality declined out of nowhere, with no explanation.
And I don't think most people realized the real reason California's ports got congested. (It was a bill designed to protect gig workers -- it required shipping companies to pay truck drivers for the time they spent waiting for their trucks to be loaded (instead of just the time they spent driving)).
People didn't know because, even if current events directly impact everyone's lives, all it takes is a few corporations deciding, "you don't need to know about that" and access to the information through mainstream channels is shut off.
Everyone using r/antiwork knew though. They knew why there was a shipping crisis, and they knew why the glue that was supposed to seal the outside of the box of Cheez-its was now instead gluing the individual Cheez-its together.
News that wasn't considered, "newsworthy" outside of r/antiwork got intense coverage on that subreddit.
And yeah, the subreddit was certainly biased against those corporations. But biased or not, its users were more up-to-date on those events than anyone outside of the sub.
I don't think OP is asking for a leftist perspective on the same current events everyone else is covering. I think OP is asking for true, well-investigated stories that capitalists simply won't air on the major networks.
You know: Muck raking.
I actually found that part clever. Things do actually get declared "woke" and then become popular enough that the grifters declare it unwoke.
Could it be the case that the folks who told you Marxists were the postmodern, post-truth folks... were about as convinced of that claim as they are of conservatives' other claims?

It's one of life's great mysteries isn't it? Why are we here? I mean, are we the product of some cosmic coincidence, or is there really a God watching everything? You know, with a plan for us and stuff. I don't know, man, but it keeps me up at night.

...What?! I mean why are we out here, in this canyon?
Have you heard of DeVone Boggan and how he managed to reduce gun violence in Richmond, CA?
