"Anti-Racist, Anti-Sexist Boy" by the Linda Lindas and it's a heartfelt ode to a middle aged Irishman who finally found out that racism is bad and is very excited about it.

CNN turning some Irish uncle into a fierce and clueless anti-racism keyboard warrior is somehow way funnier than a million Floridian aunts getting into qanon via memes.

So are you just a bitter lefty who's lashing out against the left for not living up to your standards or are you a Trotskyist about to take a job at National Review?

I don’t know what particular social issue one is downplaying by pointing out that some of the unintended consequences of globalization (an Irish guy fantasizing about law enforcement in the southern United States instead of parking his mental resources somewhere closer to home) are very funny - but if it will get me recognized as not a “lefty”, I’ll downplay it some more.

An old dog learning new tricks is to be commended even if his newfound analysis is hamfisted. And from someone who tried to bring up Foucault as a way to explain why bitches be lying this comes across as kind of insidious to me.
