you have just got to stop crowing about "the ruling class losing control of the narrative" every single time a bunch of usamericans on twitter are doing meme politics with zero understanding of or commitment to basic principles of historical materialism or anti imperialism. some of these are legitimate opportunities for radicalisation if the organisational infrastructure existed but they're emphatically not radicalisation or mass politics on their own

so long as we're back to social justice 101 on this stupid website, u need to be aware of the feedback loop that emerges from disproportionate scrutiny: any social group that is placed under extra scrutiny, regardless of the actual prevalence of any particular behaviour, will appear to engage in that behaviour more often.
you see this most blatantly with racialised groups (more cops in black neighbourhoods = more arrests in black neighbourhoods = "omg look at all the crime in these neighbourhoods!" = more cops in black neighbourhoods etc). even if the rate of crime is the same (putting to one side the criminalisation of poverty which is also an important related factor), one group gets away with it way more often and a new generation of racists is indoctrinated with the crime statistics which "prove" that some groups are simply more criminal in nature. we see a similar phenomenon online with particular groups (trans women being a huge example) being subjected to mass stalking, their every move documented by weirdos and broadcast as representative of the group as a whole.
tl;dr - overscrutinising groups based on existing bigotries creates a recurring feedback loop, reproducing those bigotries across generations and nominally justifying them. this is bad, and you need to remember that you are not immune to it.

whether its sensationalizing syntax, devaluing dialects, writing-off writing, ignoring indigenous voices, or trying to prove hyperdiffusion, my dream is to simply blow them up!
this is just the "x marginalized group's activism has gone too far" backlash that every reactionary shithead pulls out whenever that group starts to get a few too many rights. If you genuinely think that the vast majority of feminists are concerned with justifying the mistreatment of men you are either not seriously engaging with the topic, or you've bought into the fear-mongering "man-hating feminists" narrative that has been a staple of anti-feminist propoganda for decades.
