      It's interesting to compare Freddie deBoer's characterization of the "school of politics" he thinks dominants mainstream media with the actual code of ideological conformity that is required for employment by one big media player (the owners of Politico)pic.twitter.com/lAPDJMICT3

      I suppose deBoer & others could argue that there's no incompatibility with extreme social liberalism & centrist views of capitalism & foreign policy. True, but it's worth asking which of those spheres actually shapes policy & effects real world power relations.

          Lots of people who only seem to care about analyzing culture and not political economy claim to do so because they really don’t care about culture as an analytic realm, only political economy.

          If you want to defend the current culture among liberals as being effectively impotent to change anything, then that points to a very serious strategic mistake liberals have made.

          What, are we supposed to just let a bunch a people run their mouths freely while forces of reaction come to power?

          The political right has become so used to complaining about any thought that they don't agree with 100% that they ignore that right wing thought dominates media.

          Of the three things Springer requires, at least one--support of the EU--is hardly universally popular with the Right!

          I think he'd go further and say "that's the point?" The whole notion is that elites have adopted woke politics in lieu of anti-capitalist politics.

          But that conflates posturing and legitimate commitment. Corporations also portray themselves as local, anti-market, concerned with the commons etc. It’s a mistake to conflate superficial signaling (corporationw in pride parades) with committed “woke” queer politics (anti-capital)

          Which is why wokeism is compatible with capitalism
