CMV: Leftists/Progressives are manufacturing outrage at people they have access to, not who is responsible for pulling the strings of our society and it is hurting their movement.
It's well known that western society is controlled and profited by only a handful of individuals who have helped accelerate fascist movements in the US and many parts of Europe and the middle east now as well. However, because they are so untouchable and protected, progressive ideologists must take out their rage on someone who they can reach. They are targeting people who don't fit the identity of a progressive; people who have more traditional values and suburban lifestyles, white collar jobs, or maybe they have more money than the average person, or they may even be an athlete or celebrity even if they denounce what is going on politically and socially in their country or world but because of how they present themselves or what kind of lifestyle they live they "aren't good enough" to be accepted as a liberal or progressive. These identity politics are only creating in-fighting of people who are on the same team and want the same outcome for superficial reasons which is exactly what people in the fascist wings of society want. The left needs to stop playing identity politics and create a platform based on common ideas and policy.
