Religion is their go to facade to excuse their bigotry which is ironic since having hate in your heart is considered a serious sin in their own book.

I think conservative are driven by 'zero sum game' thinking; that gains by others comes at the expense of themselves. This is a large factor in attitudes towards race, socioeconomic class, gender, religion, nationality, etc.

They do lose something though - they lose their privilege, and that's what they're so angry about. It's impossible to have equality *and* a privileged class. That's why they don't want equality.

What racial resentment ???

Guess they need to therapy up and get themselves fucking fixed then.

If they didn't have someone lesser to hate, they'd have to contend with the fact that they've put so little effort into introspection and self improvement that their failings could be their own fault.
Nah - gotta be those uppity immigrants! /s

That isn't just an issue of white religions..

Literally any religion, religious conservatives exist and they are all bigots refusing to give up archaic ways and beliefs because they prefer their thoughts over accepting the existence of things that are becoming more common in their world view that bring happiness for others, but because it doesn't bring happiness to them, they reject it and want everyone to be as backward and miserable as them.

He doesn't want this administration to get wind of calling conservatives racist and being thrown in the camps.

The truth is hidden in the wording:

"It turns out conservatism isn't just a Christian thing and that anybody who is hateful is capable of wanting policies that promote or reinforce hierarchies in society that benefit a ruling class."

...say these scientists to a shocked (shocked!) and baffled audience. /s

In this context, is “Racial Resentment” supposed to be something more operationally complex than “Racism?” Something like “I find myself lonely without support and resent the community I see in [group]” or is it just the paper trying to avoid using the word “racism.”

This just in, hateful white people have quite the overlap in their identifying traits.

So much of this is 'great replacement theory' nonsense, where the 'non-whites' are outbreeding us and thus 'white people' are going to go extinct. Of course, it completely ignores the intermingling that has happened across history, and I'm fairly sure there's a half dozen other logical fallacies involved but I can't be arsed to think of them all right now because the one reason I gave already dismantles it.

Part of the replacement theory is intermingling. It's legit just assigning malicious intent on brown people being sexy.

2 months ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 0

Ah right, in that way. I meant in that it counts any sort of 'intermingling' as 'not a white person anymore', nevermind most 'white people' have some of what they consider 'not white' mixed in. How far back does it count? And if they name some arbitrary number, then why THAT number and not one more, or one less? I mean, I'm fairly sure half of Greece (and I mean people 10+ generations deep in Greece) would probably be seen as 'non-white' by these idiots. Same for Italy and Spain, I bet.

Racism is an attractive narrative for conservatives. "Nothing is your fault, it is all the black man keeping you down, with reverse racism." "Now vote for the party that will borrow money on your kid's future, and give it to the ultra wealthy." "All those who accept Donal Trump as their Lord and Savior, will be granted eternal wealth."

Along with over 5,000, 25,000 foot warehouses to store all of the cookies the semis are taking away from their workers.

I remember when this image was made, the person who made it estimated about $70K for one cookie. In this image, it was about $8B worth of cookies, so multiply it by 50-100 for Elon Musk's net worth.

Allowing one human being to control that many cookies is fundamentally immoral and bad for society.

Elon is apparently worth ~630 billion right now. That's going to be enough cookies to bury NYC in a layer a mile thick.
