my anecdotal experience with my white passing siblings and parents is that they're just as unaware that they benefit from white privilege as the non-white passing men that executed alex pretti on the streets of Minneapolis were unaware that they're helping push a white christo-fascist agenda; colonialism is ingrained into every aspect of our conscientiousness.

Damn. What a world

Maybe I should feel more sympathy and be sad for this type but I don't. Just anger that they use their privilege to oppress others.

the anger only serves to push them further into the fascist camp if you act upon it and they're not aware that they're using their privilege to oppress others.

they're the largest minority of the american political "moderate" voting bloc that kamala harris chased and they've been propagandized into believing that they are taking a "balanced" approach between a fascist pig w lipstick on and angry blue-haired liberal accelerationists.
