anti-intellectualism and authoritarianism are deeply linked. One saw this during Covid, right? There was zero discussion of any dissent from the official line around any of these measures, lockdowns, the use of experimental vaccines. Mandates firing people who didn’t want to take these vaccines. There was no discussion on the left about this.
Who the fuck wrote this? “RonJeremyCorbyn?” Is there a part about how we need to kiss strangers during New Years parties or we’re “embarrassing leftism?”
christian goes on about how his genX understands leftism and how he’s embarrassed by millennials/genZ leftism, how they’ve fallen into a woke trap and wear masks and get vaccines and call themselves marxists

Lots of wreckers that came to Hexbear and got banned on a number of alt accounts had that same take. Might be a junior boomer genX thing.
Gen X had such a little understanding of any “ism” that they had a big sit-in protest campaign during the 2008 collapse without even any coherent demands let alone a political program, and it dissolved into a camping trip that produced zero results for anything and zero lessons even, because they didn’t actually try anything specific to learn from — it amounted to nothing from the nothing that they understood and then they all went home to continue brooding and moping and making that their whole personality like before. Which is why these people make money and livings off of complaining and criticizing everything and nay-saying everything without ever having (or being expected to have) a real positive construction or way forward or alternative solution to everything they tear down. They’re definitional wreckers because that’s all they do is wreck, wreck with floral language to sell books so they can wreck more and turn the classic GenX “individualist rebellion of moping” into another reinforcer of the status quo; one that is more obstructive of people trying to do real actual positive advocacy of literally anything than even the reactionaries who at least pose a real material antithesis.
They’re professional energy vampires and Gen X “leftism” is represented very well in them
