That's what intersectionality is about, and why fascists focus on driving wedges between groups

Why do you think the fascists try so hard to keep them divided and fighting each other?

Hence divide and conquer.

Welcome to the radical left.

Well, unless you're some kind of Democrat. In which case, get your bougie, genoside lovin' ass outta here. Only the real leftists will be allowed under the banner.

I see what you did there.

How do you define a "real leftist"?

[-] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

This assumes the minority groups can all agree on things in order to “come together.”

[-] starlinguk@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

They're deliberately being divided.

Getting every group to do one thing together is harder than you think.

This is why many people I know have started referring to themselves as members of the "global majority" rather than "minority".

But also, yeah this is a class war and if the lower classes stopped perpetuating the division that the wealthy/powerful have forced on us, we could all make everything better. Eat the rich.

This is a lesson that the religious fundamentalists currently running the USA have weaponised.

Probability not relevant under a dictatorship or first past the post elections, but…

See also electoral alliance

UK has FPTP and had a coalition from 2010 to 2015.It's unlikely to work in the US where the non-rep/dem parties are basically negligible.

That’s a good point. Even though the voting system makes it harder, it doesn’t make it impossible.

Main problem: agreeing on a banner design. Also a fair amount of hating each other.

My hyper coalition an-cap-com people's democratic uniparty dictatorship will save the west.

All these minorities may share a common problem yet it's unlikely they have the same vision for the solution.

[-] IhaveCrabs111@lemmy.world -1 points 1 week ago

Like how republicans think they’re victims?

[-] Zexks@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

And if sunshine and farts were money I'd be rich as fuck. Fantasies are fun.

Bernie Sanders always talks about a multi racial coalition

Showerthoughts

35750 readers
373 users here now

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
