I’m talking about deeply held beliefs you have that many might disagree with here or deem to be incompatible with Marxist ideology. I’m interested because I doubt everyone here is an ideological robot who all share the same uniformity in belief

      Same. I thought the karen meme was making fun of white people acting super entitled and being a menace if they don’t get their way.

        Fun fact: we have paralel meme in Poland, Karen is called “Grażyna” (for one particularly uninspiring character from really shitty show, as a bonus which is funnier to Americans than Poles that show was named “Klan”) - but that meme is only a female version of much more popular meme about “Janusz” - sterotypical polish boomer.

      It started as being simply a way to be misogynistic and is still frequently applied by misogynists to downplay when women speak out about gender violence and other issues. I know when people are using it to just make fun of cracker bullshit, but it is still inherently gendered and the most common usage of it I’ve seen is just an excuse to shit on women. I don’t think the making fun of crackers part can be separated from the misogyny at the end of the day
