Patriarchy is dominance. Imperial and holy war its institutional expression. Biggest stick on top. Oppenheimer renders war obsolete. Chink in the armor. Barbie the first feminist?  Hot babe with a career. Slow deflation of the imperial erection. Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan and on. Culture wars the sad weakened substitute for hot holy war. Yelping like a stuck pig melting into a pool of disinformation.
So wouldn’t the corollary be that when a black family moves into the neighborhood it would be better to remain so your white children attain higher academic rankings due to their superior white intellect?

With #Threads and #Mastodon both embracing ActivityPub, it might not be one platform that wins out—but an open standard. "
Grievance, rage and religion be a helluva drug. For decades the drug’s been peddled to conservative America with fantastic electoral effect. In fact, you can draw a through line of the dealers from George Wallace to Jerry Falwell and Rush Limbaugh to the Fox “news”.
