Guy Goodbody posted:There is a pervasive and subtle liberal racism. But it mainly takes the form of downplaying conservative minorities, calling Ben Carson a token or saying somebody would only be a Republican because of internalized racism/misogyny/homophobia/etc. There is also a bigotry against poor whites. The third way liberals very much believe that to fight for both social issues and economic issues is impossible. Because poor whites are racist troglydites who want to lynch blacks and burn gays.It is this thought process that leads to workers issues being ignored.

Serf posted:I feel like a lot of this narrative of "economic justice at the expense of social justice" is mostly fake bullshit meant to keep us at each other's throats. There' no reason why you can't push for economic change that will appeal to white voters while at the same time advocating for robust social reforms to benefit the marginalized. In fact, I'd say that social justice is predicated upon economic justice. What's the point of having rights if you have no support structures or money to exercise those rights? That is exactly what it is. Its the neoliberal smokescreen.

MysteriousStranger posted:Economic justice and social justice aren't compatible. You advance social justice by selling off the working class and middle class as fast as possible to corporations and then throwing in with upper class social liberals. And any attempts at economic justice will drive off those upper class social liberals and corporate partners and dilute the minority vote. Yeah, we are done with this neoliberal lie. It has existed to only divide the people.

Serf posted:Speaking as someone from a southern state, the sooner Democrats drop the gun control issue the better. I know way too many people who refused to vote for Clinton on the basis that "she wants to take our guns". Absolutely hated Trump and didn't vote for him, but also refused to vote for Democrats as well. Gun control is a losing issue for losers. There's a reason why the Blue Dog Democrats were able to hold on for as long as they did. Also the fact that when we had gun laws that were stronger they seemed to be mostly used at those fighting for either social justice or economic justice.
