No, I'm thinking about how every time a worker even hints about a dream of putting a check on corporate power, someone magically appears to say, "Forget about the corporations, what you really need to be arguing about is race." I have zero illusions of how fucked up American history is, or how little has actually changed in the intervening years. Or how many times your exact rhetorical tactic has been used to specifically undermine social and economic equity, not just for the working class, but for women and people of color in particular. Which keeps them the easy targets for violence and exploitation you've decided to insist OP is advocating for somehow. Nobody here is claiming racial or gender violence is right or good. One guy getting to enjoy a rare yay America moment doesn't automatically imply a tacit endorsement of that violence. Insisting that it must be is such a classic chud tactic it makes me wonder if the whole point of this conversation is just so you have something to screenshot for your buddies over on TruthSocial.
