"Citizens remain unfazed, but the South Korean elite are gripped by confusion and fear."

Some of the things I discuss here: the link between terror management theory and actual white-supremacist terror; #ecofascism, the dodgy commitments of #deepecology and the brown-green fusion; the line from Garrett Hardin's "lifeboat politics" through Raspail and Renaud Camus to Tucker Carlson, Suella Braverman and contemporary Great Replacement theory; and Kathleen Tierney's theory of #elitepanic.

while they don’t say this clearly the undercurrent is that police and prison guards in the u.s. are not awful because we lack training for them but because we DO train them to fear poor, Black and immigrant people. basically all the so-called “animal” behavior comes from the incessant whetting of white supremacy from our media, politicians, leaders, who are only working to protect their own access to wealth. #elitepanic #abolishthepolice #thinveneer
