It's not political folx. It's about human rights. Unless you're a white supremacist?

In the article & video linked below, Bruenig depoliticises the BLM movement, (much like BLM does above) linking it with amorphous Christian principles, as though failing to support the Democratic Party & it's peripheral organisations (BLM) is a *religious* sin against God.

Recruiting *God* for a capitalist movement that mystifies class relations in service of the Democratic Party, is so extraordinarily manipulative. This is the function of the Bruenig character, she's playing the role of a self appointed public cleric, depoliticising the DNC agenda
When you depoliticise your political interventions, as though GOOD PEOPLE all agree, then ALL dissent is seen as a personal attack. This is an extraordinarily effective tactic, one designed to foreclose public discussion by framing all critics as enemies of humanity.
AOC uses it to great effect. So does Bruenig. So did Felix regarding Euthanasia (you MUST love people being in PAIN — YOU EVIL MONSTER!).

This politics is bullshit. It CANNOT & WILL NOT engage with alternative perspectives. Any sustained voice of dissent is smeared & destroyed.
I don't hate anyone, including twits on the left. I disagree with them.

I'm not bitter. I disagree with them.

I haven't misunderstood their position. I disagree with them.

If dissent from ruling class orthodoxy makes you #DerangedAndAimeePilled, I'm all for derangement! 😅♥️😈
If everyone else is a fascist, white supremacist, bigot, homophobe, transphobe etc., if "phobias" and prejudice are the only conceivable reason why anyone might have different political commitments, you will excuse any inhumanity, all manner of brutality, from your own side.

He speaks up in defence of migrants - Labour MPs whinge that he's not listening to the public's very real concerns about immigration:

He's wrong to prioritise Labour Party members over the public:
