“Leftists” deciding to die on the Door Dash hill is utterly baffling. At what point in demanding that your custom meal come quickly, cheaply, and with no tip to your driver do you realize that you’re just pissed off you don’t have a personal servant?

@jacobin It’s actually kind of racist to always remove non-white people’s agency under the guise of anti-colonialism. Because Japan was never colonized and frequently projected its power in its region. It also itself engaged in colonialism in the 19th and 20th centuries
