Two terrible tastes that taste terrible together! In this episode, we expand on our last episode's discussion of the social impact of capitalism and the rise of fascism by discussing the state of white people in America. We discuss the inextricability of capitalism from whiteness, the historical roots of white supremacist institutions, Sarah Huckabee Sanders and anti-Critical Race Theory propaganda, the Republican Party as a mechanism for white grievance politics, DEI initiatives in the halls of corporate America, and the mechanisms at work in our social and economic systems that destroy solidarity.
