I had a post removed for “Patsoc bullshit,” and I freely admit I didnt fully understand the body of the work I was reposting (I posted it here in hopes that more savvy people could provide me some context). What is PatSoc, how do I recognize it, and why is it bad? Also, who is Haz and why is he bad?

    In the US specifically, it’s a pejorative for people who are fine with the invasions, embargoes, drone-strikes, and military interventions abroad, but would please like some social healthcare at home.

    To add to this they also generally don’t care much for the rights of POC, women, and queer people. They’ll often discredit any attack on the inherent partiarcal and white supremacist nature [and history] of the US as simply identity politics being advanced by woke liberals who want to weakened US.

      Yep! Really, they’re still playing the same culture-war game and from the same position they always were, just with some copy-pasted leftist vocabulary as a shoddy mask.
