Hey, lots of Political Topics coming up that's just turning into blame games, anger and bad vibes. I'm enacting a temporary rule: no new politic topics for one week as of now.

I recognize that there is a lot of anger around the election and it's legitimate to feel that way. But I'm willing to bet that none of the political talk in the next week constitutes a 'Best Of' post anyway.

That being said: feel free to use this topic (!!!!) as political talking points. I'm serious. People deserve to discuss their opinions and I don't want to hamper them too much.

If you have political stuff to say, say it in here. I'll promise to lightly moderate this topic, which means this topic will naturally lead to bad vibes and poor arguments.

But we need a place to discuss and vent.

Yeah, definitely. I don't have any proof, but very much believe that Occupy Wall Street was viewed as an actual threat and identity politics was weaponized against it, as you say.

To be clear, I don't mean "identity politics is dead" as in "racism is over" or anything like that. I mean it more in the sense of "Stop letting those in power divide us" and "there is no war but class war".

Keep your eyes on the prize, indeed.
