But you see he's Asian and bootstrapped himself out of poverty so racism doesn't exist.
Lee Fang, Michael Tracey, Zaid Jilani, Matt Taibbi... they are running a stupidpol angle for clicks, i guess it works for them.
Idk if he's planning a political grift, but he's been extremely daft in his twitter presence recently. If he's actually this misinformed about systemic issues, I have to wonder how someone this basic can be such a good investigative journalist.
Nah, but I've seen this sort of thinking fairly often from a certain subset of highly educated POC. It's that elite intellegencia circles from government to business to acafemia are much more interested in promoting diversity than anything relating to white nationalism.
What it completely ignores is that white nationalism remains a problem because there are a small subset of elites who are deeply committed to the cause. It's no different than being pro Israel in that there's always money for a pro Israel activist.
And a populace who believes in it. The elite can’t mobilize white supremacy without them.
Money buys you attention from people, that's how the media works.
Far right propaganda isn't being developed in a grassroots sort of way like it is with the left. You have billionaires funding media networks like OAN and shit. Social media is also absolutely destroying the brains of baby boomers all over the country.
a white supremacist pedophile cabal runs the world, how is that for enlightened centrism
Yeah, people talk about the elusive unwoke tankies but most of the famous stupidpol personalities are succdems as best.
Remember when Matt Taibbi tried to say that people suggesting Fang is sus was cancel culture?
Africa's 20 billionaires are actually just doing it all for YT
His point wasn't that white supremacy doesn't exist but that it doesn't exist within elite inner circles.
This is still also wrong, just look at that guy who runs rentech, Mercer something. One of the richest people in the country and known funder of white nationalist groups from the proudboys to others.
We don’t think there’s some sPoOkY cAbAl even though there is a lot of incestuous crossover between the factions of bourgeoisie. We think (correctly) that the whole system of world capitalism is white supremacist which is just demonstrably true.
