Okay well most of us aren't members of an armed militia. What's your excuse?

I guess "class solidarity" only applies to everyone but cis men.
And then when cis men say their identities are being attacked/invalidated, everyone's like "nuh uh, you don't even have an identity!"
Can they say they abducted him?
Why didn't they take him to court over it? tRump has lost all the cases that companies actually took to court. The only ones who "lost" were the ones who capitulated, paid a settlement, fired the people trump didn't like, then changed their editorial positions to comply with the party line as dictated.
No, that's a putty knife. Spoons are elliptical and concave.
Never forget.
Some capitalists might argue on ideological grounds that government intervention is not a truly free market (although none would turn down government funds if offered, because they've sold their souls to the infinite pursuit of greed).
In reality though, most modern capitalism is crony capitalism. So the distinction loses meaning.
Cronyism implies someone with their hands on the levers of power pulling them to help their friends/accomplices, which this certainly is an example of.
tRump hands out favors to anyone who bows to him. It's cronyism.
And if it did it would just get the national guard deployed in your city. And the city government wouldn't be able to do anything to help, because their office burnt down...
Have you heard of a primary? Cause it basically invalidates everything you just said.
Also, the more the left refuses to vote Democrat, the more Democrats pander to the right. They're trying to win the "moderate/centrist" vote because apparently they won't get the leftist vote no matter what they do. They'll never pass the purity test.
People with your logic are the ones shooting themselves in the foot at every election. Your logic got trump elected, and no amount of armchair philosophizing will be enough to squirm around that fact.
No I couldn't, because everyone would think it's just some white supremacist/manosphere/redpill nonsense, and likely the only people who would show up would be those types anyway.
Literally every other demographic gets their own "spaces" and "identity groups," and if a white man shows up to those they're seen as invading where they don't belong. In mixed-identity spaces, white men are sidelined because they're the "oppressors" and nobody wants to hear their input, perspective, or opinion. But if white men form an identity group, then everyone assumes it's about racism and sexism. And if a white man self-isolates, then he gets called an incel and a creep.
There's literally no good option available other than to be a self-effacing fly on the wall who passively agrees with everything said by a woman or person of color and never critiques, questions, seeks clarity, nor adds nuance.
Women get "women's spaces," but "men's spaces" are to be deplored. BIPOC get "BIPOC spaces," but "white spaces" are to be abhorred. LGBTQ+ get "queer spaces" but "straight spaces" are to be despised.
And if people say "all spaces are straight white male spaces by default," then why is it unacceptable to boot anyone else out of those spaces? If someone of a different demographic shows up and starts demanding the narrative/vibe/atmosphere shifts to suit their sensibilities, anyone who doesn't comply is seen as a racist/sexist/homophobe. But careful not to walk on too many eggshells, because it's actually offensive to even imply that someone might be easily offended.
Literally the only other option is to hang out in actual racist/sexist/homophobic spaces, which I don't want to do because I detest those types of people. I just want a space where I can hang out and feel welcome and taken seriously while retaining a modicum of self-respect. But this default view of "white man = oppressor (unless gay)" kinda gets in the way of that. And no one cares if I complain about it, or even believes I could have anything worth complaining about.
That's what I mean by "white working class men are being excluded from class solidarity." Maybe don't force them into racially homogenous echo chambers and movements like trumpism won't gain any momentum?
