I think this is the thing that has given me most pause of 1984. For a large part, the ideas of dystopia conjured by Orwell were a little... dull. They were just the rational end point for hyperbolised surveillance in its current form. But his phrase about revolutions, and that people don't seek revolution for justice, they seek revolution for power (I believe it was something along the lines of people don't start a revolution to overthrow power, they seek it to become power) has become incredibly starkly true.

For all of the anti government ideologies being thrown around, for all of the posturing about breaking government control, they're implementing almost the exact systems they apparently fear.

Simply not true. Wealth in most circumstances has little effect beyond a single generation. There have been many natural experiments proving this - lottery winners, land grants, adoption studies. Gregory Clark does really good research on this using family name databases.

It is more nuanced, but not for the reasons they believe.

When they say "gas the kikes, race war now!" they don't actually want a holocaust or race war.

I noticed it is Indians more than any other race that has a absolutely vicious hatred for Europeans. The "you alright whiteboy" meme with blacks is mostly true. Black people will engage in anti-white rhetoric for sure but just as easily make friends with one. But Indians, man. Never have I witnessed the kind of soul rotting ethno-resentment they seem to harbour for white people out of any other group.

I suspect that it is because the vast majority of blacks truly just want to be treated as equals. Where as Indians view whites with absolute caustic hatred because they see Europeans has having robbed them of their right to rule the world. They don't care about equality, they just think that the great injustice of history is that they are not a the top calling all the shots.

Just so you know Twitter is censoring her tweet, apparently they matter enough to deplatform someone. I don't think she's actually being prejudiced but is just baiting racists and proving that the hierarchy that gives white people privilege is still in place today. Pretty genius actually.

>Most of them are Brahmins who are perpetually assblasted about how westerners don't find them to be more impressive than the other Indians.
This makes sense actually. The pale Indians (presumably high caste) I meet are often snobs whereas the dark skins are bros

The idea is that face is something forced onto people by SOCIETY as the big other, so white is simply the social benefits of being considered ‘normal’ as opposed to ‘racialized people’ who are forced into the subultern category on account of their clothing, skin, and accent.

There's plenty of competition for these positions. If they were midwits, they be teaching at low ranked state schools. These people are as intelligent and Machiavellian as the come.

I called some black people a bunch of niggers on the bus the other day and one of them threw a rock at me. Guess I’ve proved black supremacy exists and is violently enforced in the world. Pretty genius if I do say so myself.

This dynamic exists within India itself. Darker skinned southern Indians view the northern Indians as pretentious snobs blinded by luxury while the northern Indians view the southern Indians as a bunch of superstitious and gullible fools.

I sometimes see long tweet chains on twitter that are their equivalent of effortposting. It's more like a blog post that has been cut up into 20 bits though, I never see an actual back and forth on twitter.

I'm not who you're responding to but you outright sound like you've never personally known people in positions like this. Many of them are smart and many of them are not. Almost none of them are some kind of 4d chess grandmasters. If you don't think these people are the biggest apologists for credentialism in the world you're crazy.

In daily life, not that much. Academia is very specialized, and a lot of working academic are just disgruntled PhD students. They're smart, but not any less error-prone than the average person. Especially when they get their hands on a shitflinging machine like twitter.
