After joining a few progressive groups that worshiped equality, something felt off! No matter how much they tried, no matter how kind they were, my white friends were suffering too much trying not to show me any prejudice. Being Progressive didn't fix it; infact it made it worst. Instead of being racist to my face; they started treating me as a trophy friend!
Your fight for equality doesn’t help as much as you think it does. Trying to help another ethnicity in another country by criticizing your own government is not going to do anything but empower that same government. You provide them with the prestige that covers up their dominance. No organization can maintain it's presence with brute force, no matter how strong. Power alone is not enough for large scale culture.
Progressive values along with brand name universities are the holy grail of prestige.
If Israel wasn't an extension of the US, nobody would have given a shit. It might seem all about Israel on the surface; but deep down its really about the US and a major flaw in 20th century progressive globalism. Let’s not lose focus, Israel is just the tip of the Western cultural experience. A direct result of a flawed attempt at universal values, which doesn't actually work for primates.
