There’s nothing more to say. It’s literally the r/neoliberal post from a week ago, with some more edition because lemmy libs apparently are dumber and can’t understand something unless it’s spelled to them.

I’m sorry sis; but this is the one place I disagree with you. I don’t disagree with the “not assigned racist at birth”; but where I disagree is that I don’t think those maladaptive teachings ever will ‘come out in the wash’. Not without every single person who COULD pass on racist teachings to potential offspring going child-free or otherwise dying before they could conceive; and cutting it off at a generational level.
For every out, loud, and proud bigot in Amerikan society, there’s two dozen of the vermin under the nearest rotting log. I see it as the older brother to the incel movement; you can ban an incel off every mainstream social media platform on the planet, completely silence him, and he’ll still find somewhere to stew with those of like mind. It’d take a catastrophe of size that has never been seen in this country, and a coming together that couldn’t be imagined for me to believe that there’d ever be revolutionary potential in a white Amerikan.
Deadicalization when in comes to racist beliefs does exist however it is slow and faulty at best. A mass reeducation is required and you’d need to judge the efficacy of the program while doing it and tweak it as needed when it comes to white Americans. Historically, I’d argue that there has been revolutionary potential in white Americans such as John Brown, Eugene V Debs, United Mine Workers and arguably the Young Patriots Organization. While parts of these organizations and people gave problematic aspects, there has been revolution potential in them. While the present material conditions demand racism and prevent mass revolutionary conscience for America as a whole, a change in material conditions could lead to white Americans becoming a revolutionary group as capitalism does not benefit them as much as socialism would.
I agree with you that most white Americans do not have revolutionary potential now; I disagree with you in that they could with a change in material conditions and that a minority do at present time.
Sorry for the late response. I agree with you that re-education is a much better option because it really solves the problem. However, I totally disagree that white Americans have any chance of carrying out a revolution themselves, just as Western Europeans don’t. Their entire revolutionary spirit has been co-opted by fascism. I think the only solution is foreign interference. I said nuke jokingly. I would do it along the lines of the denazification of the DDR.
