The main ethos of the substack/contrarian “left” is essentially that all mainstream democrats are bad and so they must “own” them. So if that means making excuses for racism, praising horse paste and being TERFs, so be it cause God forbid they align with Pelosi and Hillary.
It’s honestly more fringe than even the most “woke” of woke stuff, existing almost entirely on Twitter and substack. It’s further removed from real people than what I call “dorm room liberalism,” which is also far outside of the world of real people.
Social media makes fringe stuff sound louder than it truly is.
It speaks volumes to me that very few of the substack contrarians are non white, women, and definitely not both.
Like too much of America it is a straight white male circlejerk
