Not to minimise racism in the slightest, but it is just a subset of classism, like sexism or 'gender criticality'; one of those foul notions that some are born to shit on others...
It's just, I don't see people talking about the identity politics that matters the most; how 99% of us are being shat on by a tiny few, who are crushing human potential, and driving our societies, not to mention our very ecosystem, off a fucking cliff while we all look at anything else but that.
I have a pretty strong feeling that tackling racism is futile until we tackle those it serves. And that lots and lots of very big problems like racism would suddenly be a whole lot smaller - the light would appear at the end of the tunnel.
But we are so very far in the dark; things are pretty screwed when crushing depression is a perfectly sane response 🤔🤢🤮
