Jamelle Bouie is a Bluesky darling…
Bouie has written extensively on racial politics, including slavery in the United States and the American Civil War, the killing of Trayvon Martin, the Ferguson unrest, the Charleston church shooting, and the Black Lives Matter movement.
What I find telling is that he never seems to write about how to change the US for the better. And his Bluesky fan base really hates anybody who points that out.
I understand why his comment setting require you to follow him to reply. He’s a notable black person so surely he gets tons of abuse. But his comment threads are always an echo chamber of libs who wish they were back at brunch. Bluesky settings are very strict. If you don’t follow him - you can’t comment at all - even in a subthread. And any leftist who does the rigmarole and follows him will always have their comments buried and/or get ridiculed by the Bluesky LibBorg.
IRL I describe myself as a “”““centrist””“” while spouting off commie pinko shit. People are flabbergasted when I tell them we should abolish the police and borders and give guns to homeless people are my centrist opinions.
I suppose it would help if I told them I meant “centrist between Third World Maoism and The Black Army.”
Damn right I’m a centrist, I want to find the reasonable middle ground between Marxist-Leninism and anarchism.
