This post is assuming that acts of violence, like Charlie Kirk's assassination, are promoted and committed by large groups of people who identify, benefit or agree with parts of a specific framework (wokeism). Which is not true on principle.
You're ascribing agency and belonging to a group based on, basically, vibes. On vague agreements or conclusions, mispoken points, incomplete framings. That is the culture war. You're doing it.
And wokeism was just a corporate strategy to appear more friendly to consumers of alternate identities/perspectives. It wasn't something that came from the masses, it was something that was done to generate more money by corporations.
You're participating in the misunderstanding of large masses of people to gain an in-group identity. Sure there are crazy people who believe its ok to be violent on "both sides". We all understand that these people are crazy, those who don't are themselves crazy.
You're aiding the normalization of extremism and polarization just like some rad-lib is doing right now by calling you a fascist. We're all ignorant, we don't know everything.
If you are not awake, you are asleep. American Cinema has been all for defeating nazis since before the war ended. Band of Brothers, Saving Private Ryan, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inglourious_Basterds
All we have seen so far is white kids shooting people in red states.
Is DHH trying to legitimize a stance that fascists are some how good?
He was literally promoting their ideas for years and even tried to "punish" those he perceived too much on the left. Like, what you mean here by "shit like this".
"Shit like this" is demanding us all to pretend we are naive and extend infinite irrational benefit of doubt to people ... who are extremely clear in their politics.
The culture warriors are those who enable the culture war through framing discussions in incompatible ways.
Charlie Kirk, while pretending to be neutral, was funded by the rich to promote certain narratives and make clips owning the libs. You dont own the libs by being fair in discussions.
Same as any other "breadtube" liberal owning the conservatives.
These media figures make money and gain followers from being disingenous and unfair.
If you pretend they are unbiased researchers you have fallen. If you pretend they represent large swathes of people you have fallen.
They get normal people on their side by carefully framing certain ideas, not by being clear. They jump on your biases and take them hostage while accusing "the other side" of taking them hostage. This is done by both conservatives and liberals.
Media is not organic, it is incentivized, manipulated and controlled. You are mistaking an image of trees for the forest.
Working class politics isnt something you read about online its what YOU need and what the other workers around you need and how to realize that together. Socialism or bust, homies.
