It's actually wild how much of our contemporary political situation is the result of laundered false consciousness about the ideologies ppl champion. The explicit far right stoke xenophobia while reassuring ppl that their attitudes are innocent, then mainstream parties fail to point out the dynamic
Not racist just joining the fight against racism on the side of racism
I'd forgotten about this particular Chekhov's gun
"These three positions of ambivalence reflect the ongoing, embodied negotiations that characterize their everyday lives... While baklang Katoliko exists, there is still a future of a more inclusive Catholic Church."
