i really feel like "left-wing" politics in the USA and maybe the world right now have gotten soooo individualistic in virtually every sense. i don't really think there IS a coherent left-wing movement in the USA or much of the world rn but to the extent there is it is subsumed entirely by individual & identity rather than the structure. "politics" is pronouns discourse on the internet. "politics" is a rainbow t-shirt bought at target. "politics" is voting third-party for your individual stance against hillary clinton's "establishment democrats" instead of making the smallest gesture to make the world less shit. "politics" is calling your incessant consumerism "self expression." "politics" is the listing all the marginalized groups you belong to before you share an opinion. "politics" is onlyfans and woke dating app ads on the subway. it's the sense of something greater than the self, larger than the self, that is completely gone.
And there you have it folx! Proof this is a new age post modern religion predicated on the belief that the human soul exists and can be inserted in the “wrong body” in what could only be described as a cosmic whoopsie!
