    In invocations of settler colonialism, Berkowitz hears progressives giving up on effecting change through political means. “The left has replaced its faith in proletarian subjects and utopian solutions with a view of the Indigenous as innocent and oppressed. It’s an ethics rather than a politics.”

    What the fuck does this even mean?

        It reads more like: “Faith in proletarian subjects and utopian solutions” devoid of ethical considerations…

        geordi-yes

        Using the science of ethics to inform your political position about the real world…

        geordi-no

        Typical liberal rag, esoteric navel-gazing only/no realpolitik allowed… There’s nothing quite as pathetic as watching a liberal wonder about the world.

      yea ima be honest leftists need to stop talking like that yesterday

      tbh it sounds more like a liberal thing, or at least someone who hasn’t given up on the USgov

      it has the same vibes as “institutional racism” where you constantly repeat the passive-voiced option so it sounds less bad and alarming (don’t @ me, instutions are just full of racist crackers and their lapdogs, 99% of the time “institutional” racism is literally just normal-ass racism)
