If white men believe they have to actively make it harder for non-whites and non-men to compete in order for them to succeed, it must be concluded that white men on some level realize they are not, in fact, at the top of any natural order
This is the logic behind historical Jewish quotas, trans-exclusionary rules in sports, the Great Replacement conspiracy theory, and the anti-DEI (read: anti-Black) push in workplaces: life is zero-sum, white Christian men deserve it all, and anyone else succeeding is a failure of the natural order
"Last week, Vance said foreign students at elite U.S. universities are 'not just bad for national security,' but also 'bad for the American dream, for American kids who want to go to a nice university but can’t because their spot was taken by a foreign student.'"

Remember: the televised punishment & humiliation meted out to Zelensky just now could be done to any NATO ally facing similar aggression. The sense of sneering hostility & contempt by Trump & Vance isn’t specific to Ukraine.

Then went straight on Fox. Smart as heck - knowing Trump’s popularity is dropping among his base. What Zelenskyy lacks in sovereign wealth and firepower he makes up for with guts and smarts. Big gamble, but I think it paid bsky.app/profile/anto...
Key points and statements from President Zelenskyy's interview to Fox News:

◾️Ukrainians want peace more than anyone.
◾️Ukrainians need peace through strength, with security guarantees, not just a ceasefire that Putin will violate like he already has done with numerous earlier ceasefires.
