sorry but discussions of culture trends can't be easily parsed by people who can only think so ...literally

why not just get stuck on 'what IS culture even', 'what is a trend Really??', and other forms of useless filler-think that magically only crop up when middle class people are made uncomfortable by the working class actually 'noticing things' with their eyes and ears...

Policy-wonks aren't gonna be in the family rooms where people say things that matter to them, where populism and/or prejudice brews.

Get to know some immigrant communities, they don't understand english to watch fox or cnn. Black folks didn't make vaccine decisions based on what channel you think they should watch. Wealthy white people buying property or voting with their feet/dollars aren't going to tell all the friends they went to college with exactly why, revealed preferences and all that.

I'm a radical feminist, if american conservatives/rep have common cause then all the better

Imagine understanding capitalism, the state, warfare, or the history of any nation.... and still having party loyalties??? sad :)

"I can explain away anything you say, because in my worldview internal consistency doesn't matter"

> I'm a radical feminist, if american conservatives/rep have common cause then all the better

And then all became clear.

The only people who I've met who describe themselves as radical feminists are described by everyone else as TERF's.
