    So why are the disaffected white portion of 'mercan society so easily whipped into fervor? Why do the feel so hard done by?

    A quick look at history shows that America (thats the North one) was grown from a backwater colony to an economic powerhouse on the back of slavery. Turns out you can make a heap of profit when you don't have to pay minimum wage or health care. . or anything, to the labour intensive industry of your choice.

    These families made bulk and that privilege flowed down to land ownership and thereafter.

    Of course not everyone was making benefit from this and they weren't sharing the spoils willy nilly.

    So a lower social group of white people always existed.

    Fast forward several generations


    The "economic anxiety" thing was crock of shit. That's a just fancy name for the same ol' racism.

    That woman real estate agent who flew to DC from Texas in a chartered 'plane to attend the coup, then posted pics on social media saying she had the time of her life. After she flew home she deleted all her posts. She's now been arrested and interestingly all her social media posts are attached to the charging documents. She's appealing to Trump for a pardon.

    Chartering corporate air services is not normally an indication of economic anxiety. Same for all the others who flew from all over te country to join the show.

    So the crys come. Don't tell me I have white privilege. I had to work for everything I have.

    So do white people have an automatic step up? Well no.

    This is possibly why they feel anger at coloured groups trying to rail against the powers. Why should they get free cash and prizes?

    I hear it here when university kids seem to get financial advantage if they are Maori vs ordinary white kids. Doesn't seem fair.

    So I think the real question is: are coloured people disadvantaged?
    Don't know where you guys went to school but in Karori there were single digit coloured kids. Was a bit scary in college when I met all these Maori and Pacific kids. None seemed to be from rich families.

    But America (norf) is a different kettle of fish again. Krist they had apartheid till 1968. That was the year I was born for fucking down the sink. How fucked up is that?

    Let's be a bit honest with ourselves here. It will take generations to try equalise that sort of shit.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    As you are not a citizen of this most excellent country that will never be far enough to the right for you. Perhaps you might like to fuck off to the country you are a citizen of? I'm sure they must have far more relaxed gun laws there.

    Telling illegal migrants to Fuck off to where they came from? "OMG XENOPHIBIC NAAAAAAAZI"
    Telling a legal Permanent Resident to Fuck off to where they came from? Absolutely fine.

    I would address the rest of the post, but I feel that pointing out the blatant hypocrisy based on whether someone has the 'correct' opinions is sufficient.

    Excerpt from there

    When this perceived need to protect one’s identity is stoked by people in positions of power, it can turn dangerous and ugly. Identity protective cognition can lead to what Slovic and other researchers call “virtuous violence”— violence that people support or commit because they believe it is morally right. In an August 2020 study, Slovic and a team of researchers found that White conservative men were more likely than all others to support virtuous violence, and “felt socially distant from the enemy, dehumanized them, and believed that the victims were to blame for their fate.”
