I don’t call people nazbol lightly, but her Irish ethnonationalist article was some weird ass reactionary shit.
you answered your question in the body?
So she literally is a nazbol at this point?
Edit: I remember her during a debate with Sargon saying she wants the left to ‘go back to being more socially conservative’ or something along those lines
if it looks like a duck and it quacks like a duck… like don’t get me wrong, someone is definitely going to come into this thread and tell me I’m wrong. but, call reactionaries wearing left aesthetics whatever you like - they’re always reactionaries first.
Because she isn’t a communist but a middle-class “leftist”, which necessarily has to contend with 1) the transnationality of capital combined with 2) the middle-class constantly diminishing through expropriation. The middle-class is not a class they can fight for itself, hodgepodge of interests it is, so it entreats the proletariat with policies to artificially prop it up.
I don’t entirely remember her weird article on open borders/closed borders - I think she suggested closing them + some weird government ID system - but those traits, for lack of a better word, cause a “vulnerability” to nationalism, we’ll say. The historical base of fascism was a shrinking middle-class searching for a big-boug leader to prevent its total collapse. There’s also that the labor movement seems currently too weak to actually commit to strategies towards immigrants like the IWMA did with the Irish & British (putting them in contact with each other across state lines, greater association), so nationalism is generally an insane subject across the political spectrum now, to say nothing of how the internet melts brains in to irony goo.
It’s just really thinly veiled ethnonationalism

she’s correct to tie “wokeism” to American capital but I don’t see why that’s so terrible unless you’re a leftcom or a reactionary
Her analysis of the situation in Ireland is embarrassing. She’s working hard to fit it into a mold that spiked readers or yank chuds would dig.
I mean, this seems to be her pattern, she appears to me to be the seed that started stupidpol, and is the personification of it. Just look at her bibliography.
