"Us and them" language is considered to be the first step on the road to genocide (literally), and yet it is utterly mainstream in America and on reddit. And no one seems interested in challenging it.

    Hey remember those multiple instances of cops showing up after a mass shooting and killing the person who actually stopped it

    "There's good reason why white cops don't trust black people". Sounds fine still?

      the wise man bowed his head solemnly and spoke: "theres actually zero difference between being distrustful of someone who can kill with impunity due to their race+occupation and denouncing all PoC as [standard racist drivel]. you imbecile. you fucking moron"

      I am always shocked how much of a fantasyland fascists live in. I saw very similar takes about how we are teetering on the edge of white people becoming the American equivalent of an Untouchables caste. Since every society needs an underclass, and thanks to the Left, anti-white racism is widespread and socially encouraged as the one exception to "racism is bad".
