The U.S has been in a cold (race and class) civil war, and few pundits have named it directly. One of its architects, Kevin Roberts, “listened & learned” his way to a PhD in African-American studies in order to dismantle civil rights. And Canadians, if you read your history, this will affect us too.

In order to get to this stage, they relied on white liberals co-opting the struggles of [all] Black peoples in America, by turning the framework of ”being woke” into a meaningless and actionless word that white liberals later quickly renounced and then blamed for the rise of facism they helped fuel.

The overriding goal of America's right wing is to restore chattel slavery so they can own Black people. That's it. Whether they will admit it or not, whether they'll even admit it to themselves, their goal is legal domination and subjugation through violence of Black people. Everything leads there.

I’m going to keep highlighting this because it matters. There’s a difference between solidarity and spectatorship. Some of you are so focused on feeling bad for oppressed people that you end up twisting yourself into positions that strip agency from those actually resisting.
