@buttcannonhe wasn't wrong.I think there exists a tendancy to esdentialize, even fetishize, hurt and helplessness. Like overcorrecting from tough bootstraps shit a bit or something.

@lunchit's extremely frustrating! because liberals mis-use nuance, complexity and ambiguity as defences of the status quo, any invocation of them becomes perceived as liberalism.It's true that so much boils down to symbolism and signalling your group affiliation.Marx was a wonk and a logic nerd!

@Absolutely_Blakely @lunch @grandpawgthere's a bunch of things you can call it, but it effectively amounts to making a show of having popular/correct opinions, taste or affiliation for the sake of social capital rather than being honest with your thoughts and feelings, good and bad, woke or otherwise.

@Absolutely_Blakely @lunch @grandpawgThat's a really good point! People also like to have identities, to display and perform their feelings, beliefs, affiliations. It's very normal.There is no easy way to identify it. It's part gut, part context.In truth recognizing it isn't the problem, it's taking the emphasis off performance/appearance as an evaluative method in the first place.

@Absolutely_Blakely @lunch @grandpawgWe gotta learn to not make substantial and snap judgements based on what people appear to be ordering perform, but accept and navigate the ambiguity and uncertainty and complexity of people and the long imperfect process of figuring out their deal in substance.ie - not relying on the flags ppl put in their bios and the wokeness of their jokes or posts to decide if they're Good or Bad, and rejecting simple binaries themselves

@lunch @Absolutely_Blakely @grandpawgand the opposite, that just because someone has an appearance, aesthetic, taste or sense of humour that contradicts the prevailing custom, doesn't mean they're evil.(obviously there's common sense exceptions, like swastika 1488 shit that is effectively identical to saying outright "im a literal nazi")
