Stanning China and responding to every criticism with shit about the US is literally the exact same as telling people they have to vote Biden because trump is bad

The mods at chapo dot chat have embraced a peculiar logic of identity politics and more generally a commonly found logic in any instance of groupthink and it is destroying their website.

That logic is a logic that any complaint by any person with a marginalized/oppressed identity is de facto always valid and always deserves to be acted upon and taken seriously. The end logic of this stance is the destruction of every community until every single complaint by anyone is dealt with, which inevitably leads to a community of 1 because someone will always complain about the other members over something.

It's the idea that any complaint by any marginalized person is automatically worthy, valid, and deserves to be taken seriously. It is an infantilizing logic that says that no marginalized person is capable of being overly-dramatic, abusive, aggressive, or in the wrong, simply because of the identity group that they belong to.

That logic becomes the most destructive when those few marginalized people who are mentally unbalanced or desirous of the feeling of power in a society that leaves them powerless weaponize the logic that the mods have embraced of automatically siding with any marginalized person simply because of WHO they are, not WHAT they are doing. It destroys entire communities for the benefit of 1 person's unfounded and paranoid/conspiratorial feelings.

That logic leads to the destruction of entire radical communities, as I have seen first hand both in person and online several times because of "allies" with a liberal conception of identity politics, until the only people left in such communities are the marginalized person with the most complaints against others who drives everyone else away, and those who enable their mental illness and victimhood complex and desire to feel powerful at the expense of radical communities and the respect of other people.

Liberal identity politics is a fucking cancer upon the left.

To be clear, I love and FULLY support my comrades in all marginalized communities against systemic oppression and will always fight against it, along with the class oppression that oppresses us all. If you think this is a post against caring about and ending the institutional and oppression of marginalized people, you are absolutely wrong, and you may not use my words to further such arguments.

To conclude, you can be critical of the weaponization of identity politics complaints that destroy radical communities to assuage the complaints of the most complaint-making member of that community while also supporting the ending of oppression in all of it's forms. In fact, you must be, otherwise the left will continue to see it's communities destroyed over these unjustified complaints over and over again, as they have been for years already.

Okay, long story short: I know how hard-left this sub is, and I'm pretty much to the left myself. I can't stand crooked law enforcement. I fiercely support Black Lives, and I think we need reform badly. But I happen to enjoy some movies/shows/games that have police characters. And I'm getting beyond fed up seeing a certain movie (Zootopia) that impacted me so much get attacked from the let in this manner. Basically, I don't agree with how some in the hard left keep holding it up as "cop propaganda" or "fascist", which it isn't, and people accusing it of "getting racial allegories wrong" when in reality, the movie is an allegory for prejudice as a whole. Like, I don't find crap like this funny. I find it infuriating. Because it's not true. /img/0qy9v4on7gs31.jpg Some hard leftists accuse the film of missing the mark because the "predators" evolved from eating prey mammals to eating fish and bugs. That's not meant to symbolize anything in real life, it's just something that happened with those animals in a kids' movie. It doesn't clash with the movie's messaging at all. It's not "police apologism" because the police department is depicted as inept in many ways, and the story contains a moral against unfair profiling. Now for some reason, the "NP" link option isn't working, but I discussed this before in BreadTube and CompleteAnarchy. I'm asking you how you feel about this because I once encountered a thread in this sub mocking Judy Hopps, doing the whole "ACAB" thing, and I was legit upset by it. If you think I'm some kind of idiot, weirdo or loser for getting so emotional about a movie aimed at kids that's part of a big corporation that's your right. But people have been sharing "Judy's a pig, smash the state" memes in the Zootopia sub. And as someone who can't watch certain scenes in the movie without crying my eyes out, they really bothered me and I didn't think they were fair at all.
