Hence divide and conquer.
That’s not how that works.
And even more people under the same social class should band together that would have a much bigger majority
I wish I could have the courage to collect downvotes like you
And in your own thread!
My hyper coalition an-cap-com people’s democratic uniparty dictatorship will save the west.
Main problem: agreeing on a banner design. Also a fair amount of hating each other.
That’s what intersectionality is about, and why fascists focus on driving wedges between groups
Not everything is about fascists.
You’re right, it’s also about the capitalists who put them in power.
This assumes the minority groups can all agree on things in order to “come together.”
They’re deliberately being divided.

Do you know what a moot point is?
I suspect you’ve never hung out with enough different minority groups to understand the scope of difficulty. I mean FFS the Latinos vote against immigration, The poor vote against social services. Even when you run into a minority group that is doing things in their best interest, they’re not inclined to stick their neck out for people outside there subgroup. Nobody else is taking care of them so they take care of themselves and they give no F’s about the other minorities
The concept that all the minorities together aren’t a minority anymore is true at some level, I think you’ve got a better chance of having white leftists stand up for them then them standing up for each other.
I do, and my point wasn’t. Not all minority groups agree on everything just because they’re minorities. The world is a tad more complicated than that. Besides, what are they “coming together” to do? Overthrow the “majority?” Does that automatically assume that the majority is wrong and minorities are right just because they’re minorities? Again, the world’s just not that simple.
This was about rights, not agreeing on every single subject. For minority groups without, or lacking in, basic human rights in the same population it is more productive to try and attain them as a singular group.
Everything you have said is a moot point in regards to what I am saying.
Why do you think the fascists try so hard to keep them divided and fighting each other?
Why do you believe fascists are the only parties working to, and actively benefiting from, division in human populations?
Because the companies and ultra rich contribute financially to fascists to take away our rights, and drive wedges between people. What are you talking about if not oligarchy and fascism? Like, some kind of softball league?

I am talking about all minority groups without basic human rights working together to achieve rights for all of them as a singular unit. Which I made very clear in the OP.
If you want to start a fight with someone, go elsewhere.
The oppressive class usually isn’t a majority (capital owners/rich, religious fanatics, morning people), but they dictate so much more of our lives, what to feel, who to hate - so much so that they make the majority work for them against the minorities (that don’t affect the lives of the majority in the slightest - but that’s just how the oppressors retain control & power).
This doesn’t really change, or add, to my point does it?
Change no, but it was my humble intention to add a little bit.
Understanding things/humans & why we behave bad is important imho.Basically banning minorities together is in a lot of ways how the majority is made. And those never behave in the interest of most.
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.
What are you talking about?
I’m uhh a Democrat in name only. My father was a Democrat and my voter registration says Democrat, but I don’t believe in their neoliberal values
How do you define a “real leftist”?
Good question!
I find it to be a more centrist position considering the amount of purity testing required to pass on either side of the political spectrum in the modern age.
Getting every group to do one thing together is harder than you think.
Does that change my point?
Hey, I just realised that if Brownian motion carries all the water molecules away together, I won’t need a towel after my shower.
Sorry, what? Your point? I suppose not.
This is a lesson that the religious fundamentalists currently running the USA have weaponised.

Bernie Sanders always talks about a multi racial coalition
It is at least a step in the right direction.
