White Supremacy: The Infrastructure of the USA
Earlier today, a surprising number of people were shocked by the fact that an article confirmed that sheriffs, elected officials, and police chiefs were found on the [official] membership list of the Oath Keepers. Given the "founding" and history of this nation...WHY ARE YOU SHOCKED?! HOW ARE YOU SHOCKED?! Have you missed how non-white, cis, straight, Christian individuals have been viewed and treated here?
Trump transported them back in time to their beloved, infantilized "good old days". The days when they could (and would) OPENLY display their racism and desire for free labor and division. Also, how do you think that they have been able to maintain the oppressive systems created hundreds of years prior? Luck? NOOOOOOOOOOOO. Covert racism has been implemented from the inside.
It also should NOT be shocking how many times supremacists have infiltrated marginalized (grassroots) organizations, movements, and protests as a measure of discrediting them to the masses. Listen to their talking points...watch their actions...take notes of the excuses given for atrocities. You have been indoctrinated into believing that "patriotism" equates to NOT going against the status quo and that the United States is the "greatest nation ever". The U.S. is the wayward, participation trophy riddled, test copying, never disciplined TEENAGER of the globe.
The US has a longstanding PR campaign that they believe that the world (and all of its residents) believe. They would rather spread the campaign than [actually] acknowledge and remedy their supremacist infrastructure.
Even with access to the world and a plethora of information, it is a matter of comfort for the mindset to remain aligned with a system of benefit to the Anglo-Celtic portion of society. Even with the reality that many of their own will be [negatively] affected by this, they have calculated the cost and paid it easily and willingly.
There is no area within the infrastructure of this [self-proclaimed] "great nation" that does not find white supremacy within its foundation. It is cemented there. You have to be either new to the planet or willfully ignorant to not take note of this.
This is why we are riddled with filibusters, bs legislation, a rogue SCOTUS, politicians with NO basic grasp of how the government works, and a former president being touted as a "lord and savior". This is why near clear people are saying they appreciate the UltraMAGA republicans because "they say it like it is" and "they say what everyone is thinking".
STOP being shocked by the status quo....utilize your vote that terrifies them and play their game better than them. Infiltrate and mandate change.
