But class reductionism is a HUGE problem with the white left and I saw from how they attacked the 1619 project to how they neglect to understand black mainstream democrats to their failure to talk to THEIR white trump voting family lets me know that we can't really trust trust them.
It definitely is, we have no disagreement there at all, it's absurd, the amount of times I have run into that issue when conversing with leftists. Simply put, I'm most aligned with a SocDem approach towards American policy, this tracks with my ethical beliefs, while also tracking with doing what is most practical as opposed to doing what makes me feel the best because it's a necessary to act responsibly if I have the goal of improving overall wellbeing. I am acting immorally if I act otherwise.
So I see your point with this posts, I think, from what I have seen scrolling through it, we are in complete agreement, and while working in America, only those acting practically should be taken seriously, and that tracks with the behaviour I typically see with serious leftists.
And on Michael Brooks, I'm not aware of him sliding towards anti-idpol, but it wouldn't surprise me given my approach towards people (humans) in general, I just enjoyed his practical approach on heated topics, which seemed to calm a lot of the online left down when needed. What would you say suggests he was nearing that? I will admit, most of my watching was going towards the Majority Report, I barely had the time to watch the show that Brooks ran solo.
