I can’t communicate words right so here’s what I’m trying to say, I have interacted with people from the global north who identify with ideologies such as anti-colonialism, feminism, socialism, veganism etc… And I’ve noticed a minority of purist/close to being reactionaries always being loud (not literal loud) who don’t represent them well and mainly exist online.
You’ve prolly already seen the “feminist (TERFs etc), socialist, vegan” ones. the anti-colonial thing I’ve seen in like Afrocentrists spreading hate to light skin native African groups (especially North Africans) which misses the point of who’s the evil white man.
This has obviously spread and I’ve seen this in global southeners influenced by western media or something else.
It neither worries me nor make sleep less at night, but it bothers me whenever I’m trying to vibe online, is there an explanation or a cause for that happens? Is it due to competing in who’s gooder? Is it because of propaganda? Are these people a psyop made to depopularise a movement? Is it because of liberalism? Is it because of the lack of theory or historical and political knowledge?
Speaking from experience. It’s difficult to accept that you have been lied to your whole life by authority figures. As aristocratic labor, I’m invested in keeping the system going, but know that ultimately it is the problem. Creating cognitive dissonance that can’t be resolved. This makes us lash out.
