Why does the Left remain silent about lookism?

[Fontaine]

An excerpt from a recent New Yorker article:

"In America, to be poor, or black, or fat, or trans, or Native, or old, or disabled, or undocumented, among other things, is usually to have become acquainted with unwantedness."

This is all true. However it ignores the most important factor in unwantedness: being physically ugly. Why?

II think it's not necessarily disingenuous but linked to a strong cultural taboo, like homosexuality was in the 1980s. Given that the New York Times used to run negative coverage of gay pride back in the 1980s, there's maybe some hope the Left will finally jump on the lookism bandwagon in 2060.

 

[Not_Important]

There are plenty of former commiecels here who left because of this.
The left supports feminism and "women's liberation", but lookism completely undermines this.
Leftists are bootlickers of the gynocracy

 

[Redpill Robert]

They more or less talk about how it supposedly affects women, just not men.

 

[Crustaciouse]

The left only cares about receiving more votes.
When they spout bluepilled nonsense about allowing billions of Mexicans and Arabs into the country their real motive is to get more future votes.
When they spout off false sexism shit they only care about getting females to vote for them.
Ugly men aren't really a unified group like the other demographics, and we don't have a political presense so they can't get many votes from us.

 

[SadRealistcel]

they are trying to get ugly men on their side like the germans did to the russians and they will backstab them ugly men know in their hearts the most they can do is to betabux and get cucked

This tbh, also nu-male are at least getting pussy by being cucks. They won't complain now hehehehe

I'm sure they would get many votes if they promised federal funding of plastic surgery for ugly people. However there's clearly a strong taboo about this for now, and I don't see it moving until we live in a futuristic world where there is concern about elites advantaging their offspring with genetic engineering or surgeries.

They hide the vile reality of women to get people to join them.
Would you support women rights (aka female supremacy) if you know the blackpill?
No? Of course they try to bluepill their supporters.

I'm a example of a former reddit communist (marxist) who left their cult because they are just really stupid with the 'women are oppressed' bullshit and any mentions to men being oppressed results in you being a 'brocialist' and 'MRA'.

not to mention they're really not unified, with anarchists dissing marxists and vice versa.
They make incel-MGTOW-TRP split looks united.

Fortunately the left is full of retards like that, and they are doomed to fail.

 

[Kirito]

Doing so would recquire them to acknowledge the fact that how easy women have it. They would rather shit on men all day for things that don't even exist instead of accepting the fact that women in the west are the most privileged class in the entire history of our species.

Because SJWing is impossible to do seriously. You can't level all playing fields and women don't even want to do this. Women love to judge men by height/race/face/build/etc.

They quite literally get off on it.

So they're never gonna confront this. If they did they'd have to stop chasing tall white Chads or they'd become "part of the problem". Easier for them just to ignore it and hope no one notices.

I straight up doubt the author even thought about it. If they did, possibly they saw it as a rabbit hole that involves too much work.

As a society though, I think its natural to be blind to the implications of "ugly" as the global industry of beauty directly exploits and has molded our perception of what beauty is.

racism is just another form of lookism. They can't see the forest for the trees

 

[83IQCowboy]

Because it's not a hierarchy they want to abolish or reform?

Definitely. The Left is about power and self-interest, not about truth and altruism.

 

[incel-american]

Feminists hint at it but they're reluctant to fully broach the subject because they haven't yet thought of how they can only present foids as the victims.

 

[ColdLightOfDay]

Everyone is aware of lookism, even good looking people are aware of how they view ugly people. It’s just that empathy becomes more difficult the less the subject resembles you. Much like race, although because lookism has never been ingrained systemically into legislation (like racism was up until the 60s) it becomes harder to recognise as a problem for those who are not involved in it.

 

[Deleted member 677]

They're idiots.

 

[Legionarivs]

Because the (((left))) can't go against feminism assumptions that it spreads.
'cuz women are angelical creatures who don't care about look, but only about personality and you have to like them even if they're landwhales because otherwise is "body shaming", you know? But men don't have right to sex because it's sexism and patriarchy, baby.
I really wonder if they ever heard about orwellian doublethink.

 

[Solitarian_Walker]

[mike mentzer]

theres been plenty of scientific inquiry into lookism, books have been written about it citing hundreds of good studies.

the reason it gets little to no mainstream traction is because everyone is coping. Normies subconsciously know, but do not want to engage with how important looks are.

 

[Asianmanletcel]

Where's heightism too? They are quiet
