    Yeah.

    This is what I meant.

    How, you might ask, is a dude who was born and raised in New York City surprised and outraged that drag exists? Because he’s a fucking dinosaur. Gender was not a political issue (for him) before the fall of the Soviet Union, and his only idea for a political program is to return to the political landscape of 1968. Anything which requires him to learn anything new is experienced as a threat or a ploy by the capitalists. Useless man.

      Ugh the clip in that thread. Norm is blaming Angela Davis for the liberal establishment coopting her message and whitewashing it - like what the fuck else is she supposed to do, Norm? Advocate for a communist revolution which in America right now is every bit as far flung a possibility as prison abolition is? Immolate herself on the steps of the White House in protest? Stop punching left for fuck’s sake and that goes for the article in the OP as well.

      Pretty normal if you’ve spent all your life in Queens. Curiously enough, given the name.
