Racism isn’t going away, full stop. It’ll take a thousand years of peace and a lot of inter-fuckin’ to do it.
We need to stop self flagellating over this on the Left. All those other countries are just as racist. Human beings as a matter of fact are stupid and racist. In the UK, for instance, which the majority of Americans, particularly thinking Americans, seem to regard as somewhere between Downtown Abbey and Four Weddings, the English did the Scots worse than the Americans did the Indians, and in the same century. They celebrate the fact in their national anthem. True story.
A human being is a monkey witnessed through a kaleidoscope. On a societal level we are so dumbed down we’re about as self directed as lobster. I’m 52 years old and spent nearly 30 of those years under the threat of immediate global nuclear annihilation.
Right now we are seeing the rich use the church to maintain a grip on power. They’ve been doing this for over 2000 years in this iteration. Our country has a legalized hate machine that generates billions while stamping out rage-filled automatons, and our capitalism has become so corrupt that you can go uncontested for making money selling health misinformation during a plague.
Time to start being rational about the human animal, and stop trying to fix things that need to die. If you don’t think those ailing, bitter souls, so heavily armed, aren’t ready to pour down your street in a river of lead aimed at anyone who looks different, seems different, has more money, eats kale, you’re mad.
These people come from the same people - the Northern Europeans - that crept out of their millenia of squalor to kill their own in the name of the king. Who need only a described enemy to grant themselves the imprimatur. In fact, they only call them Northern Europeans because Southern Europeans are Catholic. So reads the wars of Europe.
And so reads the evolution of man. It’s not the brave or the forthright or the brilliant that go on. It is the cowards and the backstabbers and the wincers and the flatterers.
Balls to mankind. I have more respect for a cat. Where’s the damn cat.
