    Sure, and then when a rich white man shows up from a rich white country he suddenly outranks them - and if they don’t respect the white man, the West will wage economic war on them through sanctions and blockades and diplomatic aggression.

    Race can be complicated, sure, but there’s a hierarchy and it always stems back to the white man because white men colonized the world.

    That’s why decolonization and anti-imperialism are essential pillars of anti-capitalism, and that’s why anti-whiteness is revolutionary.

    Whiteness has to be abolished. It’s not real. It’s just a tool of supremacy and suppression.

      I hope you go to a middle eastern country and spout the bullshit. I’d literally laugh as your head fell off your body.

          I think they… frown… on the idea that they are lesser than white people. Please please please go tell a rich Saudi the same thing you said about a white man showing up and being in charge of them I so want you to do that.

          The underlying point to all this being you have a very myopic and biased understanding of the world. And i think people like you should not be allowed.

              That you believe a rich white guy can go in and just command authority purely on the basis of him being a rich white guy is objectively wrong.

                So I think you’re overlooking the fact that rich white countries conquered the world and back up rich white guys wherever they goes. His money and white skin have power because of what’s behind it.

                It’s not unlimited - if he became a nuisance to other rich white guys they’d have him dealt with.

                  I think Chinese, Saudis, Indian, etc rich folk would have just as much power as any random rich white guy. That you are so hyper focused on white skin is really just proving my point.

                  Your thoughts seem like something from a bad propaganda film.

                    Any random rich white guy has the full backing of whatever rich white country he comes from. His white skin isn’t magic, it is a flag to everyone else that he’s untouchable because he has its implicit protection as a member of a white ruling class in a white ruling country.

                    Think of it like the US dollar! It’s not a magic slip of paper that has value, it’s a token with the full backing of the US empire.
