It absolutely isn't doing much, because those ideas aren't spreading in a vacuum. They're spreading in competition with the sensible view of equality, which is winning simply because it's the only thing that really makes sense. Good ideas consistently win against bad ideas absent a strong force standing behind the bad idea; and it's really hard to find a stronger force than government.
In the U.S., racism is on the decline not due to government mandate. Racism is on the decline because in the 1960s the government stopped endorsing a particular race as superior. We don't need the government mandating anti- racism and how the population treat each other; we just need the government to treat everyone equally and the problem of racism will continue to decrease.
Have you seen the fucking world lately my dude? Far right racist parties are gaining support in almost every western country. These ideas are GAINING right now, not losing, and in massive parts due to private companies engagement driven algorithms driving users to more and more radical content. Young white men are getting more and more conservative. That's a fact. And who the fuck do you think keeps electing racist and bigoted politicians, genius ?
How the fuck do you think someone like Ron DeSantis can win an election, if bigotry and racism is apparently on the decline ? How come far right racist parties like the GOP in the US, or reform in the UK or the AfD in Germany keep polling higher every new election cycle, if these ideas are supposedly on the decline ?
How come right wing politically motivated violence is increasing almost everywhere if these views are so self defeating ?
You're literally fucking delusional my dude. You're utterly blind to the reality of the world.
You're being sensational. The world is more at peace right now then most of its past; there isn't a better time to be alive. Racism is at an all time low in America.
I like how you just ignored all the objective and proven statistics showing right wing views and violence on the rise.
You're deluded, and clearly willfully blind to anything that doesn't fit your world view. In short, you're someone not worth talking too.
I'm not talking about violence, I'm talking about racism.
