She argues that white men are so used to being the center of attention that they balk at <em>not<\/em> being that center, which leads them to hijack social movements in order to reassert their significance. Oluo says that this hijacking typically occurs when<strong> white men join a social cause as allies only to push their own interests, exploit the people they purport to help, and eventually turn against the cause.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oluo says that this pattern of join-undermine-abandon recently re-emerged during the 2016 US Presidential election in the form of \u201cBernie Bros,\u201d a certain type of white male supporters of Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: Co-opting social movements for personal benefit isn\u2019t a new phenomenon; companies learned long ago that tying their brands to social justice issues can be an effective way to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbc.ca\/radio\/ideas\/woke-washing-the-problem-with-branding-social-movements-1.5171349\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">turn a profit<\/a>. For instance, Nike\u2019s ad campaigns promote issues like gender equality and LGBTQ+ rights. However, critics argue there\u2019s a disconnect between the company\u2019s messaging and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2019\/05\/12\/opinion\/nike-maternity-leave.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">its actual practices<\/a>, such as the lack of paid maternity leave for the female athletes Nike sponsors. This suggests that, for companies like Nike, the real concern is always for their bottom line and not for the people they claim to support\u2014and they won\u2019t hesitate to withdraw that support once it stops being profitable, such as cutting off sponsorships to women on maternity leave.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oluo argues that Bernie Bros were white men who felt threatened by the growing prominence of people of color (such as outgoing President Barack Obama) and women (such as Sanders\u2019s main Democratic rival Hillary Clinton). In Sanders, she says, these men saw someone who advanced progressive values while deliberately sidelining feminist, Black, and other minority viewpoints by insisting that the \u201creal\u201d problems facing the country had to do with class inequality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oluo argues that Bernie Bros\u2019 dogmatic focus on class inequality\u2014along with a pattern of bullying and aggressive behavior\u2014<strong>constituted a hijacking of the progressive political movement in an attempt to re-center white male issues.<\/strong> She points out that most women and people of color were quite aware of socioeconomic inequality and didn\u2019t need white men to point it out to them. Moreover, she argues that focusing exclusively on socioeconomic class dismissed problems facing women and people of color, such as reproductive rights and police violence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: Although \u201cBernie Bros\u201d gave progressive movements a reputation for racism and sexism, in the years following Sanders\u2019s candidacy, it&#8217;s become clear that class-based politics are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.msnbc.com\/opinion\/myth-white-bernie-bro-has-quietly-vanished-n1276377\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">not the exclusive domain of young white men<\/a>. Since then, diverse Democratic candidates running on policies similar to Sanders\u2019s\u2014Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and the other members of the \u201cSquad,\u201d for example\u2014have gotten the same kind of vehement support from a broad spectrum of genders and races. It\u2019s also worth noting that white men who supported Barack Obama during his 2008 run against Hillary Clinton faced <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salon.com\/2008\/04\/14\/obama_supporters\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">accusations that were nearly identical<\/a> to what Oluo says about Bernie Bros here.)\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Who were Bernie Bros?
