The text is a mockery of those who insist on addressing only one political issue at a time, such as insisting that LGBT rights must wait until economic reform is achieved, or that women’s rights must take a backseat to international alliances, and are willing to sabotage or ally against movements they otherwise ‘agree’ with in order to prevent an ’out-of-order’ success. ‘Campism’ in particular is in reference to the tendency of some political partisans to split the world into different ‘sides’ which take precedence over all other concerns - including their supposed ideological aims.

While this post is from !tankiejerk@piefed.social , the phenomenon is by no means limited to authoritarians or leftists.

Like the US backing any number of brutal military juntas because “gommunism bad”, despite the supposed democratic inclinations of many supporters of that foreign policy.
