    Besides all the very good comments here I'll also point out something missing which is that there is also an underlying desire of the working class in the global south to join up with the global north worker aristocracy and therefore not only be part of the "group" but also achieve the percieved superior social-economic status.

    Its why you see people that are from the global south still defect to imperialist forces against their own interests.

    Take the white immigrants in South America for example, Brazil/Argentina is full of white supremacists and fascists despite imperialist powers, actualy even the same old colonial powers doing nothing towards them except to exploit and subjugate.

    The Brazilian Bolsonaristas don't understand the American right wing hates them and thinks they're all dirty "Mexicans", no matter how "white" they think they are.

    I'll say unironically don't be surprised in 100 years people will write books explaining early 21st century US fascism where they'll will note how Trump also repeatedly disrespected and showed open disgust towards his own base and yet...
