I need to add that idpol was specifically created by Black women to discuss intersectionality and how being oppressed on multiple identities shaped their experiences and white leftist took that and twisted it the same way yt conservatives twisted woke. Pls research the combahee

“Wokescolds”, “racist against yt people”, “idpol” etc. are right-wing phrases that are being used by 𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘴𝘦 yt leftists. If you point this out, you will be labeled a “black-separatist”—as if black-separatism and yt-separatism even implies something similar in the first place.

"Our understanding of racism should not be reduced to a litany of gaffes & flubs..It is a system rooted in history, politics, economics & culture...Moreover, people have the right to misspeak, be corrected, offer a proper apology and move on." From 2019.

Less than 2 weeks removed from the ‘are Golliwogs racist?’ debate, the media and Labour Party are making people believe that the most racially abused politician in the country is actually The Real Racist. We have very deep sociological illiteracy in this country.

they make things (like ear plugs, noise cancelling headphones) for people to tune out loud noises in public. i am very sensitive to noise and i would never be on a plane or a train or even a sidewalk without them. babies can’t stop crying, you *can* anticipate your sensory needs.

Some of us are neurodivergent and PHYSICALLY CANNOT handle the sound of babies crying excessively. The parents were lazy and inconsiderate. No one wants to hear that shit for an hour. This tweet is ableist as hell. twitter.com/MelissaRyan/st…

The amount of people saying “we won” in response to this have no idea how grim this actually is. Buzzfeed News’ award-winning investigative reporting literally freed a man who was falsely imprisoned for 23 years by a Chicago detective We’re actually losing some great reporting
