I don't want to quote tweet anyone because I don't need the drama in my life right now, but Peter Coffin et al are definitely class reductionists and it's kind of annoying people only contend with this point because Vaush said so
-
I mean they'll obviously deny being so. I don't care. It's cheap and easy to say you're an anti-racist, anti-bigot, etc
-
But in practice, every time people try and organize around things that don't seem related to class in the way that they want they call it liberal

This part of "BreadTube" is filled with hack analysis where intersectionality means "make everything about class" and not "class affects marginalized groups differently than other workers"
-
These people care more about winning over Nazi workers who might not trust corporations out of "class solidarity" than defending marginalized people from said Nazi workers
-
Sorry but if you're unironically crying about "liberal identity politics" to the point where I can't tell if it's Jordan Peterson speaking or not, that's class reductionism
-
The accusation of class reductionism, btw, is not the same as the accusation of bigotry. Class reductionism is a willingness to deemphasize marginalized concerns in an effort to build a broader movement around economic concerns
-
"The working class is bigoted. If you cancel everyone for bigotry you'll never build a working class movement large enough to challenge capital. Wokeness is performative social capital anyway, a reproduction of liberal ideology. The left needs to unify around class conflict."

If you follow Coffin, you'll note I sound exactly like them. Because this is their while grift. It's shit and quite literally what class reductionism looks like
