They are fear-mongers, always pointing at some far-off, irrelevant, powerless and near-impoverished bogeyman, and then declaring them to be the next Hitler. When someone's job depends on conflict, how can they be convinced that there is only one race, the human race?

I've been plagiarized by
The New Republic, which now admits that democrats need to keep the race-war going, because
democrats don't want the working class to unite:
...What would happen if, by a snap of the fingers, white racism in America were to disappear? It might be that the black and Latino working class would be voting for Trump, too. Then we Democrats would have no chance in 2020. We often tell ourselves: “Oh, we lost just the white working class because of race.” But the truth might be something closer to this: “It’s only because of race[ism] that we have any part of the working class turning out for us at all.”
Also:
For those of us cut off from the white working class, it is easy to think the answer to inequality is: Imitate us. Why can’t they be like we are?...explains why newly liberated ex-Communist countries turned away from liberal democracies to authoritarian or illiberal ones. Imitate us—be like we are—turns out to be one of the most grating forms of foreign policy on offer in a world of such great income inequality. But imitate us is also grating within a country...
Sounds like what I was writing about in:
What was worse than Invading Iraq? Liberals invading America!
In another part of the forest, here's someone calling the media "
Culture War Arms-Dealers", back in 2018:
When your entire job is to get clicks, and you’ll starve if you don’t get them, you get those damn clicks any way you can. Which means you find the culture war, wherever it’s happening, and you feed it. You feed it argument fodder. You feed it virtue signals. You feed it whatever it needs to keep warring. The modern media have abandoned measured, reasoned thought, and have shifted to a new job.
They are Culture War Arms Dealers.
