it's like the common claim among cranks, "well most ppl in the Allied army were racists, so isn't the whole thing hypocritical?" it's stupid, and it always serves as a cheap attempt to diminish the heroism and sacrifice of those who fought and defeated far worse powers.
I suspect that most of these people aren’t even totally aware they’re making arguments that *logically conclude* at a place of “there really weren’t large differences between the Union and the Confederates”

Regardless I think they should stop doing that

I have seen this from many 'post-left' types who start from an 'America Bad' premise (the United States staying together was a Bad Thing) and from there go on to slowly start admiring the 'Southern way of life' contrasted to greedy mercantile Yankees and before you know it...
some people are edging dangerously close to trying to both-sides the goddamn Civil War but leftishly, and no, absolutely not, we are not doing that

It turns out the place that had Jim Crow for a century and previously had tried to establish their own country to own Black people is a special kind of racist. This is not really in dispute unless you want to minimize slavery or segregation.

I long for a world where I am not *constantly* reminded, entirely and utterly against my will, of the icky sex proclivities of random mediocrities with money.

I do not care what any consenting adult of any gender configuration does sexually with other consenting adults, and also my God, could you sweaty freaks who tragically currently run the world be a little a more goddamned discreet about it?

its also a sign of why confessional nonfiction genre needs to die
The prose is incoherent & the only way to make it through a paragraph is to rely on the North Star or her self-pitying narcissism. The gist of this graf is “strangers obsess about me, must be because I work so hard,” but it is almost immediate lost in the morass of “typed on notes app while hiking”

its a way of getting tacit approval for behaving inappropriately that now has an essentially 200-year old template. the writer casts objectively self-destructive behavior as a battle scar. you can reward them for it while maintaining plausible deniability about your own approval of it

You want to proletarianize the peasantry in order to change the relations (and thereby the mode) of production

I want to proletarianize peasants because peasants are wicked savages

Every backwards rural shithole in the history of the entire world has been a hotbed of reaction but everyone from French radlibs to Chinese communists thinks they’re the ones who are going to turn it around. There is nothing new under the sun.
as a white liberal with Southern roots, quite frankly, I think other white liberals from the South need to get the fuck over their oddly defensive attitude about what should be pretty blindingly obvious.

I understand why some white liberals from the Deep South want to insist that there isn't something distinct (and bad) about Southern political culture but the problem with this is that we wouldn't even have this idea of "The South" as distinct from the rest of the US if there wasn't a there there

If you all want an actual Most Woke Opinion, it’s that romanticizing backwater patriarchs who only have themselves to blame for their ills is a betrayal of every battered housewife, lynched minority, and queer kid cowering in the closet.
