"Ascribing to racism what is better explained by cultural distance and/or displacement of local connections represents an ongoing, and deeply entrenched, pattern of class-cultural condescension. One that has corrupted the much of the humanities and social sciences."

This nails a large aspect of the zeitgeist.

The Bigotry Accusation is the foundation of so much of modern discourse because it was the superweapon the Left used in their conquest of first the humanities, then the rest of academia and culture, and they will keep on using it as it still retains so much social and moral power.

For the modern leftish liberal the Bigotry Accusation is like a Swiss Army knife for sociopolitical discourse: first it works as a way to clear out enemies and control new territory; then of course it works as a cheap form of virtue for upscale whites to preen about how much they love poor oppressed black people, certainly much more than those evil Other Bad Whites; it also works as a new form of social control, because if we live in a permanent state of social emergency, we of course need powerful bureaucrats and overseers to police our words and thoughts to prevent a race war; and lastly it works as a way for the global corporate state and its media arm to gain money and power by selling religious indulgences to guilty white liberals.

As long as being branded a bigot in modern Western societies is the equivalent of being branded a witch in 17th-century Salem, the Bigotry Accusation will remain our No. 1 way to clear out a rival, to dispose of opponents and heretics, to win an argument or to make a name for yourself.

The Bigotry Accusation is to our time what Elvis and the Hula Hoop were to the 1950s or what disco and polyester were to the 1970s—the definitive trend/idea/cultural phenomenon that can serve as a condensed symbol of a zeitgeist. But notice the differences: all the prior examples were joyous, mostly creative, and brought people together in various ways; our endless moment of virtual moralism is in all ways opposite: punitive, ugly, designed to paint us all as either Oppressed or Oppressor and to hopefully let the hatred flow from that.

Everyone should return to their own lands, the new anti colonial movements are in the West.

As for “racism” It’s Grift.

No one believes this 💩 except childless middle aged white women, at one time they’d be camped out in Church, now politics is their Stations of The Cross.

Prayers are now online posting.

If you’re trying to speak to the people of good will, that rules out everyone in on the scam. They justify their relentless nepotism with the same logic the Europeans colonized the world, in fairness many Asian armies marched in Europe and over Christendom prior. It may be noted that they haven’t bought an army with them , which leaves us an option.

Mr Warby the Enlightenment is over, but for the people you may be trying to reach it never happened. Racism outside of the American Imperium is so taken for granted they don’t notice it, as is caste and many other neurotic indulgences of the West.

I don’t know what happened in other Western Countries, but in America Jim Snow ⛄️ replaced Jim Crow 🤦🏿‍♂️. Jim Snow had - past tense - a lot more to loot.

Had.

So we were mined as Peru was mined for the silver. Factories, industries , neighborhoods.

Jim Crow 🤦🏿‍♂️ was destroyed as families to keep the prison/social work complex going, and he obliges nicely.

So everyone got a trophy!
