    America seems to exist in this really unique negative peace where slowly and politely the poor and poc and minorities are being fed into the woodchipper without making a big mess and disrupting brunch.

    The nazis made a big show about rounding up jews and undesirables and making space for them to kill them, too much work, too uncivil. Simply just cut off welfare, gatekeep housing, food, medicine, and let the bodies hit the floor.

      social murder has so much plausible deniability compared to herding people into industrialized killing facilities

      It's a De-Industrial Revolution (of the bourgeois yet again). The first world is meant to consume and serve and the third world can handle the rest. A new version of enclosure was done by NAFTA and similar policies but to break down these fences you'd have to travel across the world. There is no room for the working class under neoliberalism, there is only those who are upper management and above can afford to live with a small supply of absolutely desperate people fulfilling their service needs, a skeleton staff for the 1st world in general and a MASSIVE surplus population to keep it all in check. The system is designed to do what it does
