The white supremacist/white nationalist narrative is the dumbest thing ever. Well, it's tied with all the other false narrative they've put out lately. There are maybe 20,000 actual white supremacists and they live in white areas like Whidbey Island and the inland NW.
Not to interrupt the party here, nor imply that I agree that white supremacists are a national threat (so save it), but this is ridiculous.
It makes me wonder if you really do hate the SEC as much as you say you do. Spend some time, real time, in the southeastern US and then get back to me, because you gave them a huge pass. If you've lived your whole life in the PNW you really don't know shit.
Where do you put white supremacists on the list of threats we face here in America?
Actual, organized white supremacists? Low, because there aren't enough of them. I'm not sure what "soft" racism is, but the racism that exists is, almost by definition, a non-threat because we've always had it.
Having said that, it's not a crazy leap of faith to think that maybe in time it could be. Some combination of factors could cause it to expand and, like anything, get to a critical mass such that it becomes a problem: continued abuse of the term and weaponizing of it by left-wing PC cops who use it to ruin lives with cancel culture, lack of employment opportunities and economic failure of lower-class white people who need something on which to aim their frustrations (which will of course coincide with diminishing opportunities for black and hispanic people too, and they'll have their scapegoats) and continued widening of the divide in our culture that pits people against one another. I do hold the left accountable for much of that, but don't view it entirely in the stark contrasting terms we typically see here in the Tug. There are a lot of shitty people out there and it's not like we're talking about Jefferson owning slaves, which is absurd. 1964 and Jim Crow wasn't that long ago, so there was definitely some "there" there.
A society like ours is complicated, and solutions are complicated and require some appreciation of subtlety, which is a rare thing these days.
It's not that complicated. It may be hard, but the basic factors leading to a prosperous civilized society are out there. It's not complicated that an intact family with an active father is a recipe for economic success and a safe society. It's not complicated that violent felons should be in prison for a long time and that petty crime needs to be dealt with a serious punishment and repeat offenders need to be isolated. Secure borders aren't complicated. Not voting for democrat leftards isn't that complicated.
TBiggs thinks Tony Dungy is a sellout for promoting fatherhood.
