I guess you didn't grow up in one of these racist, white nationalist families. As someone who did, your whole blame shifting scenario is absurd. My uncles believe they have a birthright as white men. And they are violently furious that they aren't thriving, at the top of the food chain. Obviously they are proudly MAGA. Of course they aren't thriving, lol, we're not from Texas, Kansas or Nebraska. Their racism ( and sexism) is at insane levels that I guess you can't even fathom.. The loudest laughter I ever heard at a family gathering came when my uncle told this joke: "I don't have a problem with N@##@rs, I think everyone should own one." Ha ha ha. There is no nuance here. To older men in my family, if you are a (stupid, because they all are) women, gay, or brown, or liberal, or Jewish, Muslim or atheist....you are filth. And any suggestion that you are equal deserves immediate, violent response. Sound crazy? Lucky you. I know from experience that kind of family and upbringing is not rare, or strange. It's rampant. Just pick a random American church to visit. The "root", as you say of the problem, is that they are terrible people, completely lacking character. They should be disenfranchised, sterilized and have their children taken from them. That's right. I said it. Democracy can't work if people that mean and stupid can vote. RFK and Trump are what you get if you don't have the stomach for stomping on cockroaches. We need a " Great Proletarian Cultural Democratic Revolution" The USA failed at reconstruction and needs to take another crack at it in earnest. Nationalize Palantir. Stamp out the Idiocracy future.
one caveat: I was talking about Canada where those things are not so deep-rooted
