Agreed.. but isn't this the same for most poor cultures though. Anyone working hard at school so they might get out of low wage jobs gets ostracized by the poor community in many places no matter the race.

The levels of violent coercion aren't the same, though.

True, that is higher in certain communities.

I bet there is a strong correlation between welfare pumped into a community and violence. There is a lot of tyranny necessary to create that welfare infrastructure. The drug trade shows a strong entrepreneurial spirit and respect for property rights.

I know welfare usage in the rural east Kentucky coalfields has been high in the past, without any corresponding violent uptick. Socioeconomic factors don't correlate with violence very well. Plenty of meth trade going on there, too.

Less density makes it harder for the acommpanying bureaucratic oppression? The black communities have been hyper targeted by democrats that want to 'fix' and 'help' them. Similarly, the commies want to put all their effort into 'fixing' whites now.

Certainly not a deep dive, but pop density and welfare usage seem to have very little correlation in a couple of random counties with similar metrics. Demographics are very different, though. Do you have any data that would back up your theory?

No, I'll have to go digging. I'm refering to the combination of density and welfare as an indicator of the mangerial state's infiltration. There is a bureaucratic monster that comes with welfare, like eugenics. Rural areas make that anarcho-tyrannical infrastructure difficult to build.

I'm surprised he hasn't been cancelled yet. He's spoken against woke sports too.

Bucket of crabs

Terry Pratchett explains it well:

"A lot of stuff is Crab Bucket. Being born in the wrong street/shape/race/sex is Crab Bucket. The endless fight for recognition/food/love/appreciation is Crab Bucket. Just ask Pepe. It takes a visit to Verity Pushpram for Glenda Sugarbean to fully grasp the subtleties of meaning.

Anyone as experienced in handling seafood as Ms Pushpram knows that no lid is necessary on a bucket of crabs. If one tries to climb out, the others will pull it back. Crabs fall considerably lower on the evolutionary scale than primates and, certainly, people, so this seems to be a basic force of life. Petty jealousy or a reluctance to see anyone do better has probably slowed the development of civilisation more than anything.

Pepe used the expression "crab bucket" to describe the slippery pit created by this destructive tendency. It has other names elsewhere, like "tall-poppy syndrome" and "envy."

I think every culture opresses themselves in one way or the other. Social norms are some kind of opression in the end. The question is, what things you want to supress. And black culture, at the moment, really wants to suppress whiteness aka everything that helps white people be successfull.

Wasn't there an article yesterday or so, how loyalty and reliability are white concepts that shouldn't be adhered to by black people. smh

We all oppress each other for the betterment of the group. Its why "society" is better than "individual" in most cases. A simple example is that society once "oppressed" women into chastity against their baser instincts, in order to both stabilize the family unit (long term investment) and grant her support structures through life marriages once her looks faded (short term investments).

That's what we should all be doing for each other. Creating a culture that "oppresses" our worst traits out to better us both individually and as a group. Not by law, but as neighbors.

What happens in black communities is that the "betterment" aspects get oppressed out (under a veneer of acting white), while the championed aspects such as gangsta culture and "Ima get mine!" rhetoric end up with a group that suffers from their own individualism.
