    patriarchy is absolutely directly damaging to men and people growing up amab, it's maybe not the time or place to bring that up when someone is complaining about something specific.

    i'm not disputing that it does but i'm less clear on how white supremacy harms crackers other than the line about racism being a wedge to control poor whites.

      about racism being a wedge to control poor whites.

      this in itself is big imo

      perpetuates racism and their biggest working class perpetrators, and blinds poor whites into staying poor. lose-lose for everyone.

      That's the issue. All of sociology must be rooted in historical materialism. Doing that here, we can see the issue is to split the working class so that working whites do the job of the bourgeoisie for them-- they do not grasp class consciousness, opting instead to self-identify as an invented social concept ("white") -- a concept that is always defined as acceptable and aligned with the ruling class' material goals -- in order to split the working class and oppress other races, sexes, genders, etc avoiding revolution.

      I found this write up in People's World helpful here
