    The weird, liberal “respect politics” seeps easily into progressive/leftist ideology but they shouldn’t be connected. In America at least, liberal identity politics has really corrupted progressive action.

    And no, I don’t mean advocating for the rights of marginalized groups, I am talking about the idea we have in our heads in leftist spaces that we’re somehow supposed to be the tolerant, passive, “intellectual” side. While wearing Che Guevara shirts.
