Dutch election confirms Caucus 99%: Liberals must not say "populist."

Submitted by HenryAWallace on Thu, 03/16/2017 - 7:06am

A recent essay said liberals must no longer say "liberal," "left," "progressive," or "populist." (http://caucus99percent.com/content/liberals-must-not-say-liberal-left-pr...) As to "populist" specifically, the essay pointed out that, since the Democratic primary (or earlier), neoliberals had been working to associate populism with the racism of pro-Jim Crow Democrats and Dixiecrats.

Don't Call Me a Purist Again

(Warning: This essay has no redeeming value whatsoever, it's only purpose is to have a little fun, stir up some shit and make people hate each other.)

So evidently the term "purist" is being used, again, by some in the One Percent's Democratic Party, to describe the "progressive rebels" who are resisting the corporate democratic establishment.

"You're Lazy", Said Every Non-Disabled, Neuro-Typical Person Ever

It's easy to judge a person who has dealt with multiple disabilities their entire lives who isn't working as 'lazy'. It's what most people do. Even people with other disabilities, i.e. "I have ADD and I do just fine."

Funnily enough, even if I were working a McJob or was working as a greeter at Walmart (Many people with disabilities often work as greeters), these same individuals still wouldn't be satisfied.
