Once again @pluralistic has managed to distill into once sentence something I've had trouble finding the words to explain. I'll be stealing this one!

"The classic leftist distinction goes: leftists want to abolish a system where 150 white men run the world; liberals want to replace half of those 150 with women, queers and people of color." https://pluralistic.net/2023/09/05/not-that-naomi/#if-the-naomi-be-klein-youre-doing-just-fine

See also: Why I refuse to be labeled as a 'Liberal'. (I'm not a 'Leftist' either, exactly. But I'll leave that for another toot.)

@jackwilliambell @pluralistic

This may be the dumbest, most sexist and racist thing I've ever read, and is Exhibit A why the White Left is distrusted and despised by BIPOC.

Where exactly in that statement is inclusion of people who are NOT Cis White Men? It mocks inclusion. How is it any different from the current Right Wing war on DEI?
