Second wave feminism was internationalist. We drew attention not just to rape/abuse in the West, but to women executed in Afghanistan for ankles exposed beneath their burkhas; to bride burnings in India. Liberal-pomo feminism destroyed that solidarity and replaced it w/hypocrisy

Left lost the plot in its quest to blame everything bad in the world on US imperialism. Threw out the baby (good in western civilization/values) with the bathwater (justified opposition to misguided US military intervention). Multiculturalism=bottomless pit of western mea culpa.

Replying to @4th_WaveNow @ShoelessJoe1910
Think this started with the Vietnam War, a senseless military adventure. Left hasn't really been able to think straight since then. And thinking straight/Socratic method undergirds Western rationalism/enlightenment values...

Dems/GOP used to actually work together in Congress to craft legislation, and it was ok to acknowledge good ideas coming from one's political opponents. The absurd tribalism now extends to it being heresy to even "like" a tweet from the "other side"--let alone retweet!
