I think the most fundamental bedrock of #whiteness is that there was never an indigenous precursor to modern day white people.
This is, of course, ahistorical and that transition required the mass slaughter and enslavement of those who resisted it.
This has very important implications for how white people view their place in the world.
Why is this certain subset of the world population absolutely obsessed with accumulating power and asserting dominance in a world that they view themselves as a completely foreign aberration trapped within?
Let alone climate change. Why wouldn't white people informed by this kind of thinking not try to actively kill the planet?
This is the root of alienation under #Capitalism which eventually escalates into the much more extreme alienation of no time and no place.
They've created their own artificial ecology to live within and feel in control of.
