People want to maintain racism and patriarchy more than they want themselves, their children, the planet to survive.
Racism makes people turn to the far right instead of to progressives.
More than life itself, they love supremacy.
They’d rather punch down, than punch up to the people really causing the suffering. They are cowards who want to feel strong by being on the oppressors side.
They’d rather watch the world end, have stupid arguments that change nothing, if they can be supremacist.
