Hate-stage capitalism

Hate-Stage Capitalism is a point in neoliberal capitalism at which organizations continually agitate for division and hate between different proletarian groups. This is to effectively curb the growth of class-consciousness, in a more diverse society where playing off stereotypes and ethnic tensions can keep people fighting each other. In a hate-stage capitalist society, we would see groups of people demonized across the board, and the political bent of groups could more accurately be judged by who they implicitly or overtly hated, rather than what they actually did or said. The entire point of hate-stage capitalism is to ultimately break down any solidarity and unity left on the labor side, in order to allow for the market to further push down wages, benefits, and working conditions, By splitting people up, atomizing them, and then granting boons and benefits to certain groups, the idea of hate-stage capitalism is to forge peoples’ identities around the groups they’re a part of. The immutable characteristic becomes the defining factor of a person, even if it’s only skin-deep. or based around the sexual orientation of an individual. In this way, acting as the group you’re lumped in with becomes an affirmation for the individual’s identity and a way of signaling of his or her virtue. In playing with the identities of the masses, capitalists can effectively subvert any resistance to the unsavory things that they do to the nation at large, by letting people hyper fixate on their in-group interests.

In Hate-stage capitalism, applying a hyphen to the word “American” is a way to categorize and force expected behaviors on yourself. As simply an American, I stand for America and look to help my nation. Were I to think of myself as a Jewish-American instead, I might have more in-group loyalties and could be more easily swayed by material benefits to my group or feel more forced to align with behaviors expected of me based on my lineage. The truth of the matter is that while categories carry many trends with them, they don’t define well-rounded human beings. Because of things like constructivism, where the experiences in your life clash with the culturally-ingrained assumptions you had and help you to form new thoughts, people are constantly breaking away from the cultures they were molded in to become their own unique individuals. By trying to limit the growth of the individual by confining them to cultural categories, and encouraging exploration into deviant sexualities and fictitious genders, Hate-stage Capitalism tries to distract people from the source of their problems. At the end of the day, material conditions determine social conditions, and by trapping people in these mental labyrinths of always questioning or trying to prove who they are, proletarians never see the bigger picture and become far less likely to collaborate with one another. Simple statements like, “there is no gender, only biological sex,” or, “white people were the first people to end slavery and its been over for a while, get over it,” are revolutionary statements in a social environment that survives on convincing people that their feelings matter more than material reality. and that the increasingly distant past of colonial America still defines America today.

The clash between conservatism and progressivism in social politics today is a clash between the remnants of functional working class America and the newly formed categories of a new America, which have all bought into their community’s specially crafted “Big Lie.” The Big Lie is a narrative used in totalitarian regimes to distort the truth and cajole the masses into thinking one way or another about something, based off of emotional stimuli. In Modern America, hate-stage capitalism has seen many different Big Lies created to cater to a plethora of different ethnicities, classes, and communities. Most of the time, the Big Lie was spun into existence by extremists in the various different groups of America, and over time advocacy groups for these different movements and categories have picked up these more radical stances to create new demands and feelings of injustice, as their actual problems have been largely resolved. For multi-billion dollar lobbies, the problems can never end if the workers there want to keep their job., and in creating more volatile narratives, these groups can cajole their respective communities into donating more. While I’m not saying that Black Lives Matter careerists popped champagne bottles when they learned of George Floyd’s overdose, it isn’t out of the question given their spending habits in the past and these deaths serve the same purpose for them as heroin does for a junkie. The media, in its glee to hop on the most inflammatory and eye-catching subjects it can, has played along with these groups, and the Democratic Party, seeing its fractured and diffuse base of minority groups buy into these narratives, has given lip service to these various Big Lies in order to corral their constituents towards a common cause that would otherwise be very hard to sell to both Hispanic Catholics and white liberals.

.The entire point of “intersectionality” is to combine these various narratives into a cohesive force, in order to push for changes that the groups on their own wouldn’t necessarily want but have to deal with in order to get the support and funding they need. Black nationalists aren’t campaigning for more abortion clinics in their neighborhoods, but by being dragged on the bandwagon with the rest of the intersectional crowd, unwittingly feed into the momentum for the push that the Democrats can exert politically on issues like that. The reason why the Democratic Party loves and supports these various Big Lies so much is that by endorsing them, their party becomes the outlet for all of this stimulated anger and it allows them to manage their various voting blocs with much greater ease, without having to grant as many of them individually concessions on things. On a macro-scale, intersectionality and all of these managed narratives create a very convenient political reality for Democratic leadership where their leadership can do as they please as long as their media extensions can manage the narratives and pay lip service to efforts that aren’t genuinely pushed at the top. As long as this arrangement is held, the Democratic Party functions as the voice of Corporate America and it’s interests, which are far more lucrative to appeal to, because it doesn’t have to truly represent any group of people at all.

The reason why the government and the Democratic establishment fears white Americans so much is because they aren’t very easily confined to ethnic categories, and given their historically dominant status in America, have always felt that the country represented what they stood for. While Blacks and other communities in the past have never had their own values and experiences represented in American policy, that is not the case for white Americans. Unlike other Americans, who can be tricked by hyphenations, white Americans see themselves largely as just Americans. Due to this unique relationship with America, the proponents of hate-stage capitalism reserve a great deal of their ire for white America. In conjunction with the inflamed race relations and fixation on past problems pushed forward by mainstream media outlets, the white community in America is pushed between a rock and a hard place. as the target of both other ethnic groups’ directed ire and the target of the Corporate America’s designation of them as potential resistance.

In this regard, white Americans are presented with two categories to choose from by hate-stage capitalism:

1. accept the sins of people in previous generations who looked like them, engage in atonements and seek penance, and try to make peace with crimes they’ve never committed against people that have been dead for decades or centuries. This category can be best summarized as, “the white liberal,” and the amount of penance they seek and guilt they seem to have directly determines just how progressive they are. The more progressive someone in this category is, the more willing they are to overlook injustices to their community and country, seeing it as justified by the crimes committed by wealthy people who happened to look like them decades or centuries ago. This group has no potential for true class-consciousness beyond immediate greed, being unable to think outside ethnic terms like their other liberal counterparts.
2. reject the sins of people in previous generations who looked like them, refusing to engage in atonements and seek penance, and do not attempt to make peace with things that have already vanished from living humans’ experiences and memories. This category can be best summarized as, “the white conservative,” and the amount of rejection of the liberal narrative determines just how conservative or reactionary they are. The more conservative or reactionary someone in this category is, the more willing they are to point out the injustices to their community and country, seeing it as acts allowed to happen by a traitorous elite that runs their country. This group has potential for class-consciousness, as it has been their wealthier white counterparts that have pushed the policies that have largely destroyed America. If white Americans in Category 2 were to realize that their community was finally on the receiving end of capitalism’s brutalities, the country would change overnight with or without the consent of the governors.

While other communities can be placated by government generosity and liberal lip service, white Americans in category 2 largely see neoliberalism for the self-cannibalizing sham it is because they can’t be categorized and distracted so easily. This isn’t because this group of Americans are that special, but rather because this is how they’ve culturally evolved. The liberal world for white Americans in category 2 does not benefit them, because the types of communities they live in and industries they work in have been mostly harmed by open-border policies, the liberalization of the war on drugs, and offshoring. White Americans in category 2 are producerist because of their working class, industrial or agricultural backgrounds, and see America’s economic bubbles and lack of tangible production in many industries as a sign of a failing country. White Americans in category 2 work with people that may not speak the same language as them, and see the problems firsthand that come from dealing with other groups trained to put their in-group interests first. White Americans in category 2 are dangerous for a variety of reasons, but its mainly because they can’t be directly dealt with like the other groups, short from flooding their regions with legal opioids, importing millions of foreigners into their states, and trying to push for disarmament at the federal level. Were it not for these tactics, Republicans would be winning by a landslide right now based on just demographic change alone. Conservatives a.k.a. white Americans in category 2 have 41% more children than their liberal counterparts, and were it not for mass immigration, would’ve come to dominate the political landscape by now. For a country so dependent on foreign trade, any nativist or nationalistic movement, no matter how well it benefits workers domestically, must be crushed in order to ensure the dominant market actors do not need to change their business models. A more conservative, nationalistic, and colorblind America, as we’ve seen white Americans in Category 2 argue for again and again, is a direct threat to both the economic, political, and media establishment. White Americans in category 2 aren’t simply another enemy to capitalism, but the end-all-be-all of enemies, engrained within the heart of the Imperial Core’s most powerful country, armed to the teeth, with a high degree of mechanical and outdoors knowledge, and an unrivaled resistance to liberal distractions.

Due to the fact that white Americans in category 1 tend to come from managerial, professional, and technical backgrounds, where they are more removed from economic and multicultural woes than their counterparts, the self-deprecations they heap on their own race come at zero expense to themselves. For every political concession they make on behalf of their group, it’s felt only materially and socially by their conservative counterparts in Category 2. For white liberals, this rhetoric of self-deprecation is much like the self-flagellation that devout Catholics of old used to perform on themselves and is used only to publicly cleanse themselves of the Original Sin of being white. Whether or not it is a genuine act doesn’t matter, because they are perfectly happy to shame themselves and heap their troubles on their proletarian counterparts in exchange for leniency at the liberal institutions that they work at and within their urban enclaves. As educational, governmental, and economic entities become increasingly anti-white as white liberals give away more and more on behalf of their race, during a time where there’s never been a greater amount of educated people unable to find jobs in the fields they went into college debt to get into, chances are the younger portions of white Americans in Category 1 will begin converting to white Americans in Category 2. This will be because the same material incentives that promoted the self-flagellating white liberal behavior in the past will begin to vanish, as affirmative action and rising house prices prevent younger white liberals from living out their dreams of being in the professional-managerial-class. As this happens, white Americans in Category 2 will begin to rally around racial and class consciousness more and more, as they find themselves increasingly economically and racially discriminated against in the society they mostly built and maintain.

The reason why hate-stage capitalism fears white Americans in Category 2 so much is because in the bottom of their hearts, they know they’re feeding the beast. What hate-stage capitalism has done is create a country more hostile to the majority than the Weimar Republic ever was, has given whites a newfound racial identity centered on victimhood, and is currently on course to collapse the economy even more. Whatever arises from Weimerica will tear hate-stage capitalism to shreds with a fury we haven’t seen since last century, if not even before that, and the beauty of it all is that in the end, it was totally deserved.
