Reminder: we are being trained not to care about other people. It underlines the attacks on migrants, on DEI, on trans youth, on so-called "wokeness."
Sure there are legitimate critiques but this is not about critiques. It's about supercharging capitalism's culture of uncare.

Correct.
We never really integrated. Full integration wouldn't have seen the demise of Black businesses or establishments. HBCUs wouldn't still lag in funding behind PWIs either. There would be no need for DEIA policies or practices in a fully integrated society.

The West has been in denial about censorship for far too long
It is time for Western societies to stop lecturing others and open their eyes to their own realities of repression.

Ah, the 1930s Germany frame.
But in the post-reconstruction era, America had Jim Crow, the resegregation of the federal workforce, and deadly pogroms against black people in the South.
We’ve been here before. It’s just it didn’t happen to white people.
Where do yall think Germany learned from?
