    Poland has become a bastion of European reactionary ideology for a bunch of reasons. Most of it happened deliberately by a coalition of capitalists who ran a color revolution and a fake, pro-west labor union (called solidarity of all things. And one of those capitalists who wrecked everything was George Soros of all people. Despite his reputation among right wing conspiracy idiots, he’s been throwing money at anti-communist causes his whole life. It’s a genuine tragedy.

      MFW 4chan is likely more likely to be Soros funded than we are.

      But that’s actually good information and might explain why porky-happy has become capitalist-woke in the public eye. If they’re going to lose some of the culture wars, it’s best that they do so on their own terms, or at least become the leaders of the resistance against themselves.

        I think it’s because the crushing inequalities of capitalism are so obvious that it’s comfortable to adopt the mantle of non-threatening equalities.

        Not that corporate America ever actually fights for those equalities of course. Just that it’s convenient to embrace certain equalities to obscure other inequalities.

        Like, idealized gay rights and idealized racial justice don’t actually threaten capitalism so long as the answer to gay rights and racial justice is restricted to beaming some good vibes so they beam those good vibes at will, and trans rights well depending on brand identity that can be ok as well but importantly only once it’s ok for the bottom line that’s when it becomes a useful shield to be used against the crushing reality of wealth inequality.
