Identity synthesis, “anti racism™️”, DEI - what a pile of totalitarian propaganda. The far Left are masters at achieving the exact opposite of what they claim they want to achieve. Riding on the outrage following George Floyd the far Left have taken progressives in for the suckers they always marked them to be.

Following the genius of “defund” helping the GOP in swing districts, this far more insidious, patently racist indoctrination can only turn people off. I don’t know about anyone else, but as a consistently liberal center-Left Democratic Party voter I am grossed out and outraged by these absurd concepts that have infiltrated progressive politics.

I am Jewish, I have kids in college and high school, I get to see how these ideas in particular threaten my family. Fuck. This. Shit. I am never donating a dime again to public radio, to progressive causes, to my university as an alumni. I am never donating to a single progressive house representative - not before progressives disavow this lunacy. Somehow I doubt they’ll do that. People in a cult double down on crazy.

“these educators were entirely comfortable posting genocide denial and celebratory remarks about October 7th.”

Anyone who posts celebratory remarks about Oct 7th is just vile. As is anyone who celebrates the deaths of innocent Palestinians due to Israel’s bombing.

Jews are not the same as the warmongers in their government and many are opposed to and shocked by what’s being done in Gaza. Palestinians are not the same as Hamas and many are shocked and repulsed by the savagery of Oct 7.

None of these observations are contradictory.

Admittedly I’m protected in my American shell from situations and daily oppressions people in other parts of the world have have to deal with, but still I cannot fathom the level of blindered hate necessary to curse every single member of a group for things many in that group don’t support.
