When everyone got mad at bernie for going on rogan, i remembered the Newsroom episode where John Newsroom decides that instead of presenting the news, he's just gonna have every proud boy and red hat call into NBC headquarters and pwn each one separately with facts and logic and Beta Producer is like "oh noes why are we platforming them" and olivia wilde says "because he [john newsroom] can beat them". That show ruled

I grew up in rural nm and by far the most open, clear, and violent racism ive ever seen was the "established" mexican americans vs mexican nationals, central americans, etc. Hated immigrants more than any red hat I've ever heard in my life. Just the most insane multilingual multislur stuff you've ever heard someone scream out the side of a truck

A 2nd or later generation Latino that speaks English without an accent and knows all the proper cultural cues is just as accepted as white as someone whose grandparents were Irish or Italian to all but the most extreme racial purists and Democrats still don’t understand that and think that they have them in the bag.

You know, any other white immigrant

i mean the idea that hispanic people are a monolith is hilarious if you actually spend time around hispanic people. illegal vs. legal vs natural citizens, Cubans vs. Mexicans vs. Colombians vs. Puerto Ricans, etc. etc. w. even realized if the Republicans could tamp down the racism they could round up a lot of hispanic votes and he was only wrong because they're doing pretty well even with the racism

the only identity politics that matters, which is to say the identity politics as practiced by the ruling class (through, among other avenues, the democratic and republican parties) absolutely 110% exists to break down class consciousness and subjugate the working class. if you don't see that, you're a sucker the personal identity politics of ordinary people or organizations, to the extent they are not acting essentially as agents of the ruling class, might not come from a place of trying to subjugate the working class, but that all has about as much impact on conditions as being a marxist-leninist, which is to say none at all

the seductive thing about identity politics, and where it differs from class politics, is that people can be allowed to feel empowered by them without threatening capital. capital can let people grapple with their alienation from production in a way that feels meaningful to them but that will ultimately not address that alienation, and thus not challenge capitalist rule. "is M4A going to solve racism, sweaty?" and so on otoh if you're doing class politics and succeeding then you are actually challenging capital and you are actually addressing material issues. (note: no one is doing this)

The best show in the Sorkinverse is studio 60 on the sunset strip. Instead of the cocaine fueled monologues being about owning republicans with facts and logic it's about appealing to Chinese billionaire's sense of patriotism as a PLA conscript to make their company go bankrupt instead of paying a $1000 FCC fine because The Troops and also this is happening on SNL for some reason
