Idpol Everywhere

Is it just me or does this idpol bullshit seem to have reached a whole new level of shitting up everything recently?

After the U.S. election a lot of lefty discussion groups cropped up on normiebook. Now, I didn’t expect much from them, but for the first couple weeks after I joined there were some decent discussions about leftist topics or theory.

But in the past couple weeks, all these groups got infected with rabid idpol crusaders threatening to ban everyone who (even marginally) disagrees with them. Some teenage ban-happy mod came after me in a discussion about racism because I was “tone policing” PoC (and I’m a PoC myself) when I said that being shitty to white people is shitty, even if not “racist” by their terminology.

So what gives? Were lefty discussion groups always so shitted up by idpol or is this a new thing? Makes me think all this idpol crap really is some COINTELPRO shit meant to fuck up lefty activity online.

The right is the source of all idpol.

I vape spliff cookies with liquor in them, what does that make me?

No it's not just you. I would get harrassed hardcore if I said I was leftist and didn't support Hillary during this previous election.

Usually the argument was that I was a muh privileged PoS that wasn't thinking about all the minorities Trump was going to hurt. TBH voted Jill Stein because I think she would have done good for the environment.

Such a bullshit argument on so many levels. As if Hillary wasn't going to kill brown people in the middle east. Completely ignores that. So in reality it's just tribalism, we're right, the other guys are wrong. No discussions allowed.

See, I would expect that from liberals. But the kind of groups I’m talking about are, at least nominally, Marxist, often full of tankies.

But they’re so spooked by idpol shit that people are getting shamed/banned simply for disagreeing that “Kill All Whiteys” is an OK thing to say.

Normally on leftypol I’m the kinda guy who defends idpol. But this ultra-woke shit is getting way too out of hand.

what do?

I guess the upper right corner is on point some of the time

egoist?

Well I do consider myself a communist egoist.

Eventually no one was even arguing about racism anymore (e.g., if it exists, who benefits/suffers from it, etc.) and the conversation boiled down to whether hating white people was legitimate or not.

I had to exit the group myself instead of waiting for the ultra-woke struggle session. I swear, these idiots took all the worst elements of Stalin and Mao and none of the good stuff.

There’s something terribly wrong with leftist discussion if leftypol is one of the last sane places to discuss it without idpol ruining everything.
