You seem to have extrapolated quite a lot from such a brief comment. Is it possible you may have misstepped in some of your assumptions here?

I'm not saying you're wrong, but should we be gatekeeping calls to investigate genocide?

I don't think so? The only "zombies" I can think of are Lazarus and Jesus, and neither got married after their resurrection.

You say that as if mixed race people aren't routinely ostracized by both sides of their mix.

Children try to help with tasks they are incapable of doing as well, that does not mean we should alter our actions to cater to them.

How has this worked out so far?

The dripping tap won't be turned off by the suits in charge of the world, and our future's hanging on by a thread

The problem here is that helping the working class hurts the people with lots of money to throw at attack ads. As you said, the people are gullible morons, they are not immune to propaganda.

If, hypothetically, the DNC were to fully shift to a pro-working class platform tomorrow, with the policies that implies, their capitalist donors would shift their donations to endless propaganda against them. Everything from half-truths and mischaracterizations to straight up lies.

Elections are not won by superior policy, they're won by superior popularity. Even if that popularity is based on lies and misinformation. The DNC has no incentive to adopt popular policies if adopting popular policies causes them to lose voters due to gullible morons being convinced by propaganda to vote against their interests.

Frankly I think holding out for the DNC to step up as leftist saviors is silly and ignorant of reality. The Democrats have been, and likely always will be, the less bad capitalist establishment party, which only gets support from the left as strategic time-buying votes (and rightly so, I will continue to vote blue-no-matter-who so long as the probable alternative is fascism). They're not likely to save us, and we can't pragmatically expect them to go from less bad to actually good.

Because marginalized groups are weak because they don't grasp their power. Numbers are irrelevant without coordinated organization. A hundred separate marginalized groups taking separate action can never compete with centralized power. Only when those groups unify with a common purpose and course of action can the power of their numbers be actualized

I'm really, really excited for the new InfoWars.

If it helps you focus, it's just another form of rubber ducking

Correct. But it's easier to assemble and publish an editorial about discrete symptoms than a manifesto on core societal ills.
