This is extremely accurate but the ideology also attracts poor people and degenerate weirdos who want leftist politics as a handout because they can't figure out how to participate in society. They use the label of leftism but push far right hierarchy based on made up genders.

This is also very true and well-put and it totally summarizes the two groups I’ve seen at the helm of this.

The “non-privileged” people who get platformed are the swindlers with little else to offer who use the opportunity to scam people, and very poorly represent their communities.

It's surprisingly synergistic how well liberalism meshes with these types of faux leftists. I think they are largely the same people it's just a difference of wealth and social status. The rich ones just generate a framework of tokenism to exploit workers and get away with it by putting up BLM and trans flags and the poor ones run into the framework to accept the social clout granted by that liberal class.

Meanwhile the working class is pushed down as their wealth is extracted towards the rich. Anyone who speaks up is accused of being a racist or transphobe... And unfortunately the conservative-right is also fanning that culture war flame. This causes actual racists and bigots to be elevated and thrown in with populists so everything gets dismissed at once.

u/firemonke8 brought up the word "bourgeois" and that's exactly the right way to frame this. It's derived from marxism, whether intentionally through academic theories, or purely by playing on social group dynamics:

This is a process that hijacks individual empathy and uses it to discriminate and scapegoat others, in the service of the "oppressed". You just need to continuously redefine who is oppressed, and use that to build "allyship". You think Lenin himself was oppressed? No way! But it worked to get himself and his thug buddies in power, didn't it!
