reminds me of that thing Parenti usually throws out as an aside about how making common cause with the disenfranchised, disempowered, and materially insecure peoples is characterized by the hegemon as some kind of sneaky, duplicitous move to seize power… though how one actually receives power in this way is never explained.
Liberals never explain it because they believe the world operates on magical thinking. If enough people combine their imaginations, the thing they want happens. That’s how they conceive of reality
For them that largely is how it works, they’re able to will a lot of bourgeois policy into action because it didn’t challenge power. When they see an actual challenge to power, they are incapable of approaching it from any other perspective because their brains have been rotted by their ideology.
Ironic, considering libs call other people orks: in warhammer 40k this is literally how orkish psionics operate. They can wish things into existence if enough of them believes something hard enough.
