I'm just saying that even though their beliefs are dumb (in addition to being evil) they're otherwise relatively smart men in some regards. Also they get a lot of free councel from fascist PACs.
We're doing ourselves a disfavour by underestimating them imho.
The fascs have a knack for quickly identifying the codes of new means of communication (mass media in the 30s, internet now) and we need to put some extra effort in it as leftist activists.
French here. We need to let go of and pay formal reparations to our ex and current de facto colonies.
I don't see why we should divide China, Russia, and the USA. I agree they need to be reworked from the ground up. But I'd be curious as to why they should be split up?
It's partriarchy's and - its pendant - misogyny's fault. People that pass as men do benefit from them and thus tend to manifest them more but they're baked in the whole society.
People that aren't men can internalize thoses biases too. Women enforcing other women wearing a shit ton of different outfits are manifesting internalized misogyny.
I'd argue that there's also a dash of classism sprinkled on top of it because it seems more of an issue in bourgeois (or at least bourgeois affiliated) settings. I wear safety clothes and PPEs in the shop so not much variety here and there's no issue if I wear the same outfit I like with friends.
And even at that patriarchy hurts even the "regular-est" cis straight white men. All that shit about "being a real man", promoting risky behaviours, shutting down all emotions, etc aren't good for anyone...
