I am deeply distrustful of anyone who cares so much about adhering to their political alignment and to the letter of theory that they no longer see people as individual human beings, each with complex and different lived experiences, and instead sees them as homogeneous blobs or as a means to an end. “I’m a leftist,” “I’m right wing,” “I’m a liberal,” “I’m a communist,” “I’m a socialist,” and so on and so on.
Yeah, but do you still see people who disagree with you as people? Or as the automatic Other? Do you care so much about having the “correct” beliefs that your humanity and the humanity of those around you fades into unimportance?
