I found this person after investigating the author of the book: Drug War Capitalism. Sad to see another perfect example of liberals doing great analysis but coming short in being pragmatic.
“Studied abroad in Japan”.
read: “I spent half a year in Japan doing shit all and consider myself an expert now. I consider ichiran the best ramen shop in the world. “
I know exactly the type, they’re the vast majority of people coming here. They all have this same exact insufferable liberal mindset too, like visiting Japan makes them so fucking worldly.
Edit: editted for content.
The “slept around” part of your comment feels weird I’m going to be honest. They don’t mention anything along those lines and it really comes across as like the common misogynistic jab.
Sorry I’m not sure where the misogynist bit comes in? I may have missed something though, so I am happy to correct myself if I did.
We have a pretty large volume of “study abroad students” that just come here to treat the country as their personal party and holiday for six months. Not everyone, but the ones who don’t rarely feel the need to point out that they did a study abroad.
It’s pretty obvious that the original person they’re talking about is a women, and it’s a common jab used by mainly incels and in general misogynists as an immediate attack of a women’s character since that makes them “lesser” for having been promiscuous. So that makes it doubly weird when the op, no matter how liberal they are, mentions nothing about sleeping around or having sex, and you use it as part of the stereotype. Not that people like that don’t exist, but it’s a strange distinction to make.
I don’t mean to say you’re wrong about anything else you said, but it was a bit rough adding that into the comment.
I actually entirely missed that they were a woman, sorry. I missed that one word when I read through it. Obviously I didn’t mean it in that way, but I understand the term can have that charged meaning when referring to women specifically. Which wasn’t the intended effect. I’ll edit the original post accordingly. Thank you for pointing out my mistake.
Everything else basically stands though.
No problem! Hope this wasn’t to much of a bother.
Not at all, appreciated in fact!

I’m not as surprised looking at their ‘‘credentials’’ on twitter, what they deemed important to ‘‘show off’’. That they graduated from Georgetown, an ivy league, that they enjoy raving (which likely entails psychedelics, leading to the ayahuasca bazinga brain, or new age hippie bullshit), and that they studied abroad in Japan (so they’re likely into anime and videogames, and gobble up everything Japan, cosplay or are geeky), and most telling of all, they grew up in LA, and we all know you need brain de-wormer growing up in the goddamn US. I forgot to mention that like me, they’re Millennial, and I’ve met a number of my generational kin that grew up with some privilege to study abroad, or mingle with people from other countries in ivy leagues and their bad takes. I think they studied with escuálidos in Georgetown and that misinforms their position. These are all assumptions, but tracking the brainrot is fun, just as it is for us tracking how we got here.
As for the author this is one of those ‘‘ninis’’ that are neither Washington nor Moscow, but always end up in Washington.
Former code pink sounds right, the code pink comrades don’t let liberals in.
Either a Social Democrat or a Vaush fan
This gem is from the author of the book:
Looks like she believes in the pro imperialist lies about Xinjiang despite her analisis about Mexico. It is crazy that these people exist.
Because they’re idealists, they don’t have a coherent world view.
