Our culture war squabbles, the "battle for the soul of the nation," are motivated just as much, if not more, by whites being embarrassed of other whites who hold different-enough moral values as it is about actually consistently fighting for steadfast political principles on their own.
Conservatives wonder why liberals try to fight for the rights of outgroups, either because they're dumb and simply bigoted or because they're at least smart enough to know these groups' well-being are fundamentally in conflict with even liberals' own interests as white capitalists and thus think they're virtue signalling. Liberals wonder how in the world conservatives can be so embarrassingly ignorant and hateful of minorities to the detriment of their own well being, unable to consider the link between nationalistic rhetoric and capitalistic degradation of their communities, and instead wish they could get the fuck over it and understand that including minorities in the American machine will benefit white well-being too.
Meanwhile minorities are caught within the crossfire of the bullshit.
Where do you live that your community suffers from "capitalistic degradation"?
Gee, this community has *too* much private property rights and ability to make a living off of free trade. It's a complete dilapidated mess of people with jobs exchanging money! I would pay money to get Nepenthe to spend some time in an actual poor country.
If I'm reading this right first Nepenthe says that not all white people are bad or even the same.
And then goes on to say that white liberals have good ideas?! Wha?!
