It's been about 9 years since the Western left took its idpol turn – what has that accomplished? How has it helped? Who has it helped? (lemmy.ml)

Define your terms.

What happened 9 years ago?
What exactly is “idpol”?
What exactly is the “Western left”?

If I had to guess, I’d say that you watched a few YouTube videos selected for you by the YouTube algorithm, and then assumed everyone else in the Lemmyverse is in the exact same headspace as you.

My Marxist-Leninist conceptualization of what “Western left” and “idpol” mean might be very different from yours.
