Explanation: Depicted is the murder of Wat Tyler during negotiations in the 1381 AD Peasants Revolt in England.
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. If you're an American and reading this, most likely you know someone personally who is a campist without the slightest hint of left-sympathy - only they take the opposite side. 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.
