Because it never has anything to do with culture.
It's about race. It's always about race.

@Remittancegirl and sexual identity...

@Remittancegirl Can I throw class in here too? Mostly from research I did about when the UK created public education, and the main Tory objection was that lower classes would get above themselves.

@Remittancegirl it's also about patriarchy! Which is a kind of culture?

@Remittancegirl Race, class, and patriarchy - under which we can file anti-trans and anti-queer rhetoric and policies as sub-categories, because non-cishet sexual and gender identities threaten the patriarchal order.

@Remittancegirl tbf, sometimes it's gender or sexuality as well

@patrick_h_lauke They are so insane, that to them, non-heterosexuality is like another country, another species. It might as well be another race.

And when you respond with... well, what about sexual orientation or language or religion, or class....
I do hope you will listen to what I have to say to you about the way they think: it might as well be race - because to them, you are another species. A lesser species.
For THEM it is always about race.

@Remittancegirl it is indeed about otherness. It is all xenophobia.

@Remittancegirl Thank you. This. So much this.
People without much more than a contemporary culture of parroting and parasitic paraphrasing aren't fighting a war.
They're insisting on taking up all the space with whiteness.
If they want to talk about the culture that gave us an Epstein island, and get really bitterly introspective about it, that still isn't a war for non-whites to fight.
It's almost exclusively an intra-cultural European mess with the usual suspects on the perimeter.

@Remittancegirl It took me forever to understand what you're saying right here. I grew up in the 'blinders on color blind' family, now they are outright white supremacists while my identity is broader - my country, my friends and fam, work. Race isn't real SCIENTIFICALLY, but our anti-human opponents believe theirs is real and make a stunning amount of no effort thinking based on it in every - and I mean every - political topic. My fam and I no longer talk. I taught communication.

@dobetterinstitute Perhaps the deeper essence of communication is actually acknowledging when it isn't actually occurring.
I am sorry about your family.

Thank you for saying this.
@HamonWry I know there is more complexity to it than this. But, essentially, they only believe that white, christian, heterosexual men who agree with them belong to their 'race', and everyone else is sub-human to them.
