Oh look another Jewish journalist pathologizing White anxiety. I'll pass thanks. I've read enough of those articles to last 5 life times.

Funnily enough the only reason I know about Feuer is because he wrote a big piece on The Proud Boys the other day -- of course he claimed they were White Supremacists™ -- and I watched a clip of Gavin McInnes calling him drunk and abusing him.

This study was conducted by Robert Pape, although many like Feuer are bound to promote the conclusion. Interestingly, so many are dunking on Pape's research, complaining as to why he even believed racism wasn't what fueled the events at the Capitol.

I however have gotten some other points from these tweets: -Whites becoming a minority is revenge for racism, slavery, colonization etc. (basically any statements about Whites accepting minority status/anti-White actions they make are results of those historical factors and modern WN beliefs. They will say this in regards to us desiring self-determination, and even apply this to sentiments shared by Trump supporters) -"When you're privileged, equality feels like oppression" -Trumpism (and likeminded groups like Q and Proud Boys you have mentioned) just so happens to check all the boxes for bigotry (directly akin to Alt-Right)

I certainly would like some reactions, perspectives, or good rebuttals for those, as I am still learning new things concerning people's views to the Alt-Right. The central cpoint of this argument is that many Trump supporters/WNs are actually well-off, and that none of them can head to those belief systems by being poor but rather, solely falling for racial hatred. I would like to see some right-wing community perspectives on this study and some of these arguments.

"When you're privileged, equality feels like oppression"

This pretty much sums up Jewish privilege in a nut shell. For instance its a common narrative that Jews fled the Soviet Union in the 70s and 80s because they were oppressed and persecuted, but in reality their main issue was that they were no longer permitted to completely dominant Soviet institutions as they had in the past. They were still far better off on average than most people in the Soviet Union, but that wasnt good enough for them.

The central cpoint of this argument is that many Trump supporters/WNs are actually well-off, and that none of them can head to those belief systems by being poor but rather, solely falling for racial hatred.

In the case of Trump supporters they are certainly less well off than white liberals are, by a substantial margin. They arent living in dire poverty though as most of them are solidly working class and a decent percentage probably are small business owners and such, but the ones at the capital were probably mostly working class types like welders, truck drivers, skilled tradesman etc. They might make a decent living, but it requires hard work, skill and sacrificing their bodies and health. These arent liberals "working" from home and attending zoom meetings on occasion during the pandemic.

As for "WN"s, they dont even really exist, or at least their numbers are small enough to be completely irrelevant in the grand scheme of things. It's also a loaded term. Feuer and Pape are almost certain Jewish nationalists(Zionists) who regard Jewish nationalism as completely normal and white Nationalism as pathological. Also the claims of them being motivated by "racism" are also largely just the bullshit double standard whites live under, where they are expected to be suicidally altruistic while every other race and ethnicity can be nakedly self interested and lobby openly on their behalf. Any whites that do what those other groups routinely do are called "racist", usually by disingenuous and hypocritical ethnocentric Jews or opportunistic sell outs like the ones who pump out this anti white propaganda disguised as objective reporting, or even worse concern for whites.
