Neo-Nazi Groups Are Attempting to Worm Their Way into Rallies Against the War on Gaza

It cites force reports analysis and a recent report about overrepresentation of targeted minorities, namely Black people, in traffic stops and instances of police brutality, but suggests heavily that it’s caused by racist individuals and not institutions that are built on, propagate, and encourage white supremacy.

The report also then makes suggestions about how to tackle white supremacy and of course this comes in the form of personal responsibility. Educate yourself and your children. Not that we should organize to combat it, develop community defense systems, or abolish institutions that thrive on white supremacy.

In this way, reports like this one serve only to protect the state’s authority from legitimate criticism as opposed to “exposing” white supremacy.

How are parents coping with climate collapse? I’m feeling heavy amounts of guilt and fear for the future.
