Pretty much every idpol stereotype group has drifted leftwards to class-based demands, even if they're naturally still focused on how it benefits their group specifically. The girlboss feminist has been dead for longer than she was alive, and so far as she and all the other idpol bogeymen were ever alive, their existence is the product of capitalists responding to bottom-up pressure for social justice rather than applying top-down machinations of their own free will.

Indeed, since being more educated generally correlates with being more left-wing, one should see ominous tidings in America's decliPost too long. Click here to view the full text.
