This is what cultural Marxists do: divide and conquer or homogenize and conquer, whatever the situation happens to call for.
They do this most commonly by designated arbitrary “victim status” to various classes, thus dividing them from each other based on how “oppressed” they supposedly are. The less statistically prominent a particular group is (less represented in a job field, media, education, population, etc.) in any western society based on their color, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender, etc., generally the more victim group status is afforded to them by social justice gatekeepers. Whites and males (straight males) are of course far at the bottom of their list of people who have reason to complain and we are repeatedly targeted by SJW organizations and web mobs as purveyors of some absurd theory called “the patriarchy”.
FK – Overall this is very good but I have to disagree with a couple points. There is ‘white privilege’ though I can’t agree with the Marxist interpretation of it. To deny this is to deny reality. Some or our ancestors were simply greedy vicious assholes. There are plenty of those around today, of all colors. I’ve too often been treated like a jackass while ‘working’ too many blue-collar jobs not to understand this. We need to teach real history with all the warts.
Children are not generally brainwashed. They are indoctrinated. If the govt. schools are attempting to re-indoctrinate a child from a truly ‘religious’ household in love of the state as her personal savior then they might be said to be ‘brainwashing’ since that intones there was something there to remove and replace. Kids are blank slates. All they see, hear, experience largely determines what they become.
