The left broadly still tip-toes so gingerly around any group or ethnicity that they trip all over each other to make sure nobody feels excluded, and ends up making an environment that feels so much like walking on eggshells that nobody wants anything to do with it other than kids who want to earn performative inclusivity badges.

I got very burned out when I was more active in a few groups and half of every meeting was just qualifiers and disclaimers instead of organized action. And in the intervening years it’s gotten worse as we’ve lost more ground.

I get we need to have solidarity for people who don’t have a voice, but I’m not sure our species broadly knows how to turn that into an actionable strategy that doesn’t push away the very people we need on board, the tuned-out, short-attention-span masses who still equate leftist activism with some south park stereotype.
