liberalism being unable to contend with neocolonialism moment. genuinely embarrassing that this person is ordained as a "serious academic" by an institution.

On a level plain, simple mounds look like hills; and the insipid flatness of our present bourgeoisie is to be measured by the altitude of its great intellects.

Love when my liberal "political scientists" are working on bizarre racial ideologies.

our theories are woefully inadequate

They should've realised that when majority of Latino men voted for Trump... Over a year ago.

Your skinfolk ain't always your kinfolk.

But I'm more concerned about the story of two Latino men who murdered an ICU nurse in cold blood! Trump said he was going to stop this!

She deleted this by the looks of it.

Reminds me of the army using Indian scouts from tribe A to hunt tribe B. Something that has done for at least 500 years now

whoa it turns out if you spend your time ignoring social class, you end up with an inconsistent slurry of identity politics

As a mexican, it makes perfect sense. There is nothing worse than migra with a latino last name, it doesn't surprise me that they're ICE's best goons.

I've read so many police brutality cases where the officer has a hispanic last names. Hispanics are the fastest growing police ethnicity, but are still under represented as a portion of population. and while having a Hispanic last name doesn't mean they self identify that way, it does seem like poc cops try to prove themselves to their colleagues by brutality. When was the last nationally reported police murder that was exclusively white officers? Tyre Nichols, George Floyd, and Freddie Gray all included multiple poc murderers.

Research suggests that more black officers in a white dominated police force actually increases fatal encounters, and only once there is a near majority do fatalities decline again. https://www.npr.org/sections/codeswitch/2017/02/04/513218656/does-having-more-black-officers-reduce-police-violence

I mean Chomsky couldnt comprehend what dialectics even was!

lemme guess half the replies are "this must be the work of putler"

Ngl I like, generally understand the concept and I’m aware that compradors exist in every persecution but I do also definitely feel the “How the fuck could you do this, and how stupid are you to think this will save you?”

We’re not talking about people in concentration camps who’re getting extra food or something for being a snitch, these people could simply not join ICE or CBP. Go work for McDonald’s or something dude, the pay is barely less and it’s way easier on the conscience.

Wait until she learns about Los Angeles and the policing there.

It is a funny demonstration of at least some family resemblance of dialectics and how complex phenomena is a very complex interplay of all the factors. But milquetoast liberals just are constantly jumping directly back and forth between the original liberal conception of atomic individual that is a tabular rossa rationally acting as an abstract individual maximizing utility to the opposite position of your race (and maybe parents income, as a crude indicator of inequality and class) directly determine everything you think and do and form you as a monolith.

She needs to spend a week in rural Central America to understand this shit. Some of the darkest mestizos you’ll meet who swear they’re white and using Nazi terminology to describe the indigenous. Will marry and have sex with anything white that has a pulse. Dreams about moving to the US and getting a white spouse and mixed kids.

And you’re surprised their descendants are fighting for a white supremacist org?

Also it’s really telling about American racial ideology when even the whitest Latinos automatically become non-white as soon as their last name ends in a vowel. I have actually had Americans argue to Latinos with pale skin and bright blue eyes that they aren’t white for that exact reason.

Some people just never made it out of the 2010s
