Don't know what it is. Maybe there's just more bad faith. A hundred years ago, you could just say "black people shouldn't have rights" and that'd be it. You knew what was what and you had things out on that basis. Now everything's buried under 10 layers of bullshit you dump on everyone all the time.

the wheedling, creeping disingenuousness of it all! "business & scholarship aid specifically for Black people is reverse racism" etc 😖

I've always had a hunch that the growth of Straussian 'thought' was related to those changes. A hundred years ago, you could openly say "black people shouldn't have rights"; fifty years ago, you couldn't say it so plainly - so you found a way that let you say it in code.

Exactly this. While one asshole lays out their plans for white supremacy, another is chiding us for calling it racist. Then there are the City Club luncheon talks about civility asking us to compromise with eliminationist radicals and op-eds pretending they can't see any of this. It's exhausting.

Claremont are particularly psychotic and racist even by the standards of rightwing American think tanks. They're the ones who put out a thing a few years ago fantasising about a war between California and Texas where they felt California would lose due to its 'deracinated males'. 🤷♂️

Yeah. Thinking that Atwater quote has a lot of applicability here.

Flip side of this is I don't know how anyone lives this way. I don't know how you go in every day to a job where you're supposed to pretend to believe Chuck Schumer wants to seize the mandate of heaven. Like, do you just put your soul in a cubby somewhere until you get back? This is evil. Sorry!
