The truth of what the left calls "white supremacy" has been revealed these past couple of months. It literally just means normal, everyday things like showing up to work on time, liking country music and honoring great men of the past. It means using the term "blacklist". It means thinking it's OK to dress up in a costume as Barack Obama. It means enjoying country walks with your family.

I don't think the leftist or the normie sees it this way. They don't think that "white supremacy" is those things concretely, they think that doing those things reinforces "white supremacy" which they think of as a kind of abstraction, like terror in the phrase "War on Terror". So when some harpy preaches that "The word blacklist is racist because it equates blackness with badness", the normie thinks "OMG, she's right. I don't want to be a bad guy, and it's a small change that will help us reveal the Divine Equality." The normie liberal swallows it whole, so he caves. The normie conservative says that black(the color) is not the same thing as Black(the race), but agrees with everything else, so he caves. We say that there is no Divine Equality to be revealed, so to us it's all lunacy.

The point is that in the normie mind there is still a disconnect between all the concrete things they are now supposed to do or not do, and the abstraction of "white supremacy". Instead of thinking "These people must be insane - there's no way such innocent activities make you Hitler", they think "Any little thing to help fight the specter!". You might try pressing them hard on what exactly "white supremacy" supposedly is. Make them put it in concrete terms, not nebulous hand-waving.
