I don't know what I like best about the shiny new version of this country's left, but some of my very favorite philosophical nuggets are:
- The family structure reinforces oppression and must be "abolished" by getting rid of capitalism and reorganizing society around "queer social reproduction."
- Pregnancy is a tool of oppression, because it takes women out of the workforce during their peak productive years, thereby propping up evil gender binary norms.
- Open Borders are essential to the movement to raise class consciousness.
I'm sure our liberal friends will dismiss this as fringe stuff, but this kind of propaganda is getting a pretty serious foothold in their party.

I suspect you are already on the Road to Damascus, my soon-to-be liberal brother...
Interesting article from the POV of one Asian-American female.

.......you’ve implied in past posts that Biden and Klobucher have had to say what they needed to say to secure the nomination by going Left, but then they will triangulate back to the middle for the election.
You’re saying that they need to lie to ameliorate their base or conversely that they need to lie in the general election to fool the public that they are more centrist than they are.
Why do they need to lie, and why is this ok with you?
The answer is that liberals DO have to fool the public about their views or they wouldn’t get elected, AND ThEY KNOW IT.
Trump says what he thinks, and he keeps his promises. The man you call a liar is ironically the most politically honest candidate of our time.
Probably goes back to abortion.
Unworthy of response.

I do think liberalism is the love child of flawed logic and idealism, I don’t hate those who think that way anymore than I would hate someone with a mental disorder.
But as you can see here, you as a liberal do what you always, always do. You accuse others of that which you yourself do. You simply can’t recognize that you are projecting. (So that you understand better, it is you who have been part of the daily hate monger it of Trump for the past 3 years. You’ve even falsely accused him of Russian Collusion).
Why weren’t you more upset with Nancy Pelosi’s racism that these fools charged last week?
Like they are a perfectly normal part of the Right.
In a polarized society, the loudest voices get heard the most.
The squad or warren or Bernie across the media universe.
That’s them along with Nazies and Neo Nazis.
The loudest ones lately include “the proud boys”.
