first off, i nominate this for the greatest image of 2021: https://twitter.com/reezels/status/1351732376632586240

TLDR: Warren-voting blue checkmark accounts are mad about people doing Marxist science and not simply saying “qanon are evil because of their essential nature”. These smarmy anti-dirtbags did cultural appropriation of comrade dril’s tweets to mock the idea of looking at how our environment shapes our ideology and worldviews. Libs who think covid denial is evil are doing capitalist denial by obscuring the material base of alienation which generated the mental superstructure which qanon parrots.

This guy from Dissent (“if I was your editor” if I was your Red Guard, your cringe ass nerd account would be deleted) agrees with the Warren libs that historical materialism is not worth talking about. Very weird to see someone reduce their cognitive dissonance by getting aggro and shrieking that something “doesn’t matter!!!” and “isn’t important!!!”.

Perhaps these 2 Woke 2 Empathy radlibs want to obscure the material effects of capitalism because they are privileged PMC class traitors? In any case, they’re actually in the same category as Qanon: they lack a scientific explanation of political economic history. Which is why they desperately need to reaffirm their idealistic worldview by demanding certain groups of others to suffer because they’re “bad people” (racists, conspiracy theorists, Amber):

Idealists believe cultural issues matter more than our material struggle to survive under late capitalism. Marxism is a “bad analysis” because it doesn’t simply categorize people with childish superhero movie labels.

These progressive Warren voters need to differentiate themselves from “evil unscientific fascists” because they believe themselves to be good people (their Reaganite politics are, like qanon, claiming to be “saving the children” despite destroying the American family unit for profit). Apparently you’re antifa if you never say such “embarrassing” things like talking about Jeffrey Epstein’s friends and bourgeois business partners. Talking about the endemic sexual abuse in the ruling class is apparently a tenet of fascism to these anti-dirtbags. That’s why Obama let his daughter intern with that Hollywood rapist, it would be impolite and rude not too!
