"White Traitor" and Diversity Dialectics

Summary: New York East Side Community School teaches parents to be #WhiteTraitor's to combat #WhitePrivilege. #Woke.

Analysis: This is the logical conclusion of any #Diversity #dialectics. Once you start going down the racial-, sexual-, gender-, et al- identity stuff, you end up with #ZeroSum logic. There are always winners and losers. As #Taichi teaches us, #dyad's are inherently unstable. (Which is why they call it #Bipolar.)

On the other hand, this is also inevitable in diverse societies, absent a #centripetalForce. War, national mega-projects, religion, etc, can unite a diverse people, temporarily. But then, they have to want to stay united. As Yeats said, it seems that "The Center Cannot Hold."

Political Realignment Mapping Discussion

As I have said in several places, the Democrat-Republican divide is passe. The current political realignment is a 5-way struggle among: Rural Sensibilities, Urban Proletariats, Intelligentsiya, Big Finance, and Diversity. [There are multiple overlaps.]

Historically, the Democrat Party was a Communist coalition of Urban Proletariats with Intelligentsiya; the Republicans the reactionary anti-commie coalition of Rural and Big Finance.

The decline of Urban Proletariats (from 20th Cent Globalization) and the infiltration of Intelligentsiya / Meritocratic Elite into Big Finance (starting with media celebrities), kicked off the ongoing realignment. Diversity plays an interesting role, because of its connection into both Urban Proletariats and Intelligentsiya, cementing them into an uber-Urban anti-Rural caucus. [Even though many of them are only 0.5-gen removed from peasantry.]

Diversity, the spoiler factor, however, imposes its own problems. As I said, "diversity" is an inherently centrifugal force. To maintain coherence, therefore, any Diversity Party has to impose strict ideological adherence. Which is what we see with the anti-racism, #MeToo, et al, purges. And as soon as they win local victories, the Diversity Coalition starts breaking down; which partly manifested as the George Floyd #DefundPolice protests this summer. As Portland protests show, the DefundPolice protests are largely an Intelligentsya-Diversity struggle.

So, in one sense, we have a Rural-Urban struggle, which kind of matches the Ethnic Nationalism vs Globalism struggle. At another level, we have an Intelligentsya-Establishment vs Populism struggle.
