It's "non-white." Because being white has so much privilege associated with it that even people who can pass as white, don't.
It has nothing to do with Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity quotas making passing as white a poor career move. Nope! (Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!)
I really do wish Scholztenizyn wasn't so fucking relevant today.
“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.” ― Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn , The Gulag Archipelago 1918–1956
“Gradually it was disclosed to me that the line separating good and evil passes not through states, nor between classes, nor between political parties either -- but right through every human heart -- and through all human hearts. This line shifts. Inside us, it oscillates with the years. And even within hearts overwhelmed by evil, one small bridgehead of good is retained. And even in the best of all hearts, there remains ... an unuprooted small corner of evil.
Since then I have come to understand the truth of all the religions of the world: They struggle with the evil inside a human being (inside every human being). It is impossible to expel evil from the world in its entirety, but it is possible to constrict it within each person.” ― Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago 1918–1956
Basically. It's done by neo-marxists focused on culture rather than overt communists, so it's different. They've cloaked themselves in Post-Modernism to play a longer game, but the ideological goal is still the revolution, with the promise of utopia to follow. All present culture is on the chopping block because it's in the way of a "greater good" so great that everything blocking it can be sacrificed and/or destroyed.
It's zealotry, but the religion is secular.
Through it, all measures against the oppressors are justifiable. ("No bad tactics, only bad targets")
Destabilization of Culture is the phenomenon you're talking about.
The ideologue you're looking for isn't Marx. It's the Marxists who looked at the industrial societies resisting the revolution that came to Russia and China and asked: why hasn't this worked in the West? They railed against "Stabilization." They were upset at the prosperity which made the proles happy with the capitalist system. These neo-Marxists chose to erode the culture itself because they couldn't oppose the material wealth; they did this by focusing on intrinsic differences. They aimed to create a new class of "oppression" to create sett of proles who could never be happy once they were taught that they were oppressed.
Then they conducted a long march through academia to ensure that they'd be the teachers. They seized the means of cultural reproduction, instead of the factories. The creative arts followed, resulting in the destruction & subversion of modern media.
Welcome to our intersectional future: miserable people subverting and ruining our culture because of the way they were born.
"No bad tactics, only bad targets," is the leftist slogan you need to keep in mind to reason through this.
It isn't about any action being objectively bad. There is no action the left will not take & then justify in its attacks on the right. They earnestly believe they have moral warrant to take ALL actions to stop the evil people thwarting their utopian desire for revolution.
There will be no "are we the baddies" moment.
The problem is that by plotting the trajectory of woke to write satire, you write prophecy instead. Look at the Babylon Bee, for goodness sake!
