Blacks **and **browns. I (latino) had multiple (white) libtards insist that I'd be voting against my economic self interest if I didn't vote for Clinton back in 2016. When I asked WTF they meant by my "economic self interest" they hemmed and hawed with "well, you know" and the like. Eventually they'd admit that OBVIOUSLY I was on the government dole. And this was coming from people who I'd heard talk about having trouble making a monthly credit card payment. But no, I don't get food stamps or unemployment or whatever. Hell, I didn't even need assistance when I bought my own place. But to them I'm just a brown person, and that meant there was no way I wasn't dependent on the state to survive, and that meant keeping democrats in power.
Did Trump cancel financial support for minorities? I never he never set up concentration camps for LGBTQ+ people, but supposedly that was inevitable.
You have to understand the Saturday Morning Cartoon universe these people live in to understand why they act this way. It's not quite as simple as "they're racist". They're just stupid.
They believe that everything bad happens because of right wing policy. They, as white people, have no money. This is capitalism's fault, and it affects everyone. You are Latino, and thus a victim of systemic racism. Therefore, you are both oppressed by capitalism and systemic racism, and as such it is literally impossible for you to succeed. If they can't succeed despite their very real White Privilege™️, how could you possibly do so?
If you do succeed, it demonstrates that their formula is flawed, so they simply dismiss it as a lie or they experience a brief moment of cognitive dissonance before their smooth brains automatically purge any pesky information that makes them feel bad.
Most racists are stupid. The ones who claim not to be are stupid and hypocritical, hiding their racism in assumptions like those you mention.
At least with the Klan types (a dying breed) you know where you stand.
If America was a white supremacist shithole, and a banker-controlled capitalist kleptocracy...
Why in God's name would you WANT to be on government assistance?
If you're a black man, why would you want to take a loan from the Klan? If you're a jew, why would you want to register for a work program with the NatSoc government? Even by their own standards it makes no sense, they just see it as an avenue for power.
They call America the most racist country in the world, yet everyone from brown shithole countries wants to come here because of all the free shit we give them. So racist.
Yes, that's part of the whole point for why they are so broken.
Only because existence is an illusion.
But in practical terms this observation gets us nowhere because the left's whole game is sociopolitical power--how to seize it and maintain it. Their worldview is framed by this illusory "struggle" that fucks shit up in no uncertain terms.
The right, those among us who work from a position of individual liberty first, have the moral and intellectual and historical high ground, and the conservative tendency NOT to react is what got us here in the first place.
