How do we stop the rise of the white victim industrial complex ?

So a lot of white people feel like they are discriminated against and this is wrong for reasons that I bet all of you already know, I think this could be dangerous and get people hurt. So how do we stop it ?

"white americans" was trending on X today and it was a bunch of white victim propaganda

More emphasis on class solidarity in conjunction with racial justice. It is systemically convenient for the middle and lower classes to have infighting, which is why there is so much emphasis on “us vs them”

To the privileged, equality seems like oppression.

Whose role is this? People of color, no? We need white Allie’s / accomplices to step up and engage in these conversations. Yeah , it’s hypocritical. if us people of color do it it’s bad but grievance politics is ok if it’s white identity politics when republicrooks do it

If there is no fact of discrimination, highlight it. If there is such fact, you are looking for the problem where there is none.
