    What’s worse is the smug satisfaction that liberal career academics will radiate after they’ve done their easy recolonialism for the day. Make a call for land back, and they’ll happily lecture you on treaties and laws and the importance or cooperation with the state.

      white liberalism is about making themselves feel better.

      10° to the left of centre in a good day, 10° to the right of centre if it affects them.

        Liberalism relies on the moral purity of its privileged to reproduce; white supremacy is inherent, not incidental. It is fickle in all values besides the imperatives of individualism and capital. That isn’t “shifting” as though they change their values incidentally, liberals’ claim to moral correctness is instrumental in how this system appropriates and disarms dissenting movements. That’s why fascists use insecure morality and reality to assert power, it is a common tactic that its proponents drew from liberal rhetoric.
