I know so mаny аmаzing pаtriots in the greаt stаte of Texаs, аnd I love Texаs, thаt hаve been wаiting аnd аre willing for this moment. Deputize а citizen force, put them on the border, give them hаndcuffs, get it done. Sure thаt’s drаmаtic. You know whаt’s drаmаtic? The invаsion of the country. We’re going to tаlk more аbout thаt, we’re going to tаlk аbout how the other side hаs openly аdmitted thаt this is аbout bringing in voters thаt they wаnt аnd thаt they like аnd honestly, diminishing аnd decreаsing white demogrаphics in Americа. We’re going to sаy thаt pаrt out loud, аs so mаny people in the corporаte mediа аre аfrаid to tаlk аbout it.

I should probably be concerned about the increasingly-brazen descent into far right politics America is going through as capitalism further decays and its defenders look to fascism. But I’m honestly only mildly shocked and even a bit apathetic about it at this point. :shrug-outta-hecks:

    The phrase "mask off" is overused, but this is a legit example of it. In the US, I am 100% certain there's a very large percentage of white folks who feel this way, it's just not talked about very openly. There's a significant amount of angst over no longer being a "white" country. Sure they have their suburban enclaves but even the white folks know demographics are turning against them. There will be dog whistles and whatnot even around other white folks. But if you get a group of reactionary white folks (probably the majority) together and they know each other, this topic comes up a lot.

        American racism is also so intertwined with capitalism they're almost inseparable. It provides the perfect cover for racist and chauvinistic impulses because "Nobody should get handouts, if they worked harder they'd be more successful."

        They don’t think “I’m better than POC”, rather, they think “I have to make sure POC can’t get access to education, health care, land, jobs, stability, etc. or they’ll eventually overtake me and my kind”

        I'm not even sure most of them think that far. They just see the results of previous centuries of white supremacy, beaten down and desperate people, and think "bad people don't deserve things"

      That's what I'm thinking. Charlie Kirk most likely doesn't believe in anything but he knows damn well what he's doing by signaling this to his audience, which are in all likelihood pretty receptive to this, being "middle" class suburbanites and petty-bougies, and therefore mostly white. Demagogues like him have been feeling emboldened with this tactic and seeing how far they can press white and petti-bourgeois anxiety for their paycheck, and it's only getting closer and closer to outright stealing from /pol/ threads.

      The "funny" thing is that it's not like "demographic replacement" necessarily threatens their power and privilege. You have obvious examples like South Africa but also the entirety of Latin America where white/white-mixed people are vastly overrepresented in the highest political and economic positions whereas Mixed/indigenous and African people are the opposite, and statistics reflect that. It's just that when you have a right wing propaganda apparatus (and even supposedly "left-leaning" media outlets and Hollywood) that constantly reinforces the yankees' notions of Latin America being entirely filled by run-down slums populated by nameless brown hordes with nary a white person or, gasp, a "good neighborhood" in sight, they start to internalize that.
