That’s the funny thing about white supremacy, that it’s an idealist philosophy. So, while it certainly affects the world (on inconceivable scales, even), it does so in a relatively uncontrolled manner. That’s because it is based on unsound principles and is therefore unscientific, and consequently cannot understand itself, or the consequences of its actions, in a reliable manner
Certain historical trends were to emerge that allowed white supremacy to catapult itself into being a very beneficial ideology; societies with largely white populations managed to become immensely more powerful and wealthy, this is undeniable
But the conditions that allowed white supremacy to thrive (in my mind, almost entirely the ability to do mass violence with impunity) are slowly fading away.
Regardless, the system runs on the logic of white supremacy and mass violence, so it is enshrined into the logical underpinnings of the system. The logic must accept these outcomes.
So, whatever the system pursues in a logical manner, it does so with the logic of a segregationist; it knows no other way (because other logics do not lead to a small “white” minority marshaling an inordinate amount of the global resources; you need to latch on to this one, if that’s what you want)
I would fully expect the logic undertaken by the US to diverge from the logic of someone who opposes white supremacy
It doesn't until capitalism is beaten, because "white" is an imaginary concept that expands and contracts as needed. As far as I can see the only true "non white" other that has held pretty solidly is that of sub Saharan African descent. But even then this category is starting to look more fluid as a domestic African bourgeois continues to gain global power. So who knows.

When does that capacity for mass violence fade? It’s still going…
