I mean this question sincerely, am not trying to troll or provoke anyone, and engage only with the greatest hesitance:
Can someone please explain to me what things like the Jones & Okun list of "white supremacy characteristics" on page 5 have to do with (to quote the text) "white supremacy culture"? I was involved with leftist movements quite a bit in college and these just read like typical leftist complaints about capitalism, plus a touch of the anti-"affluenza"/consumerism movement, plus some generic things that most people probably agree are bad (when, implicitly, taken to an extreme). I don't see the connection to white supremacy, but I assume there is one and am curious what I'm missing. I started reading the text but am having trouble following it—I think they're assuming background that I don't have.
Reads more like SlateStarCodex's Moloch than anything to do with thinking one race is superior to another, really. What am I missing?
[EDIT] I've just looked around for the original Jones and Okun paper and all I can find are excerpts expanding on the list, nothing connecting it to the attitude that other races are inferior to whites. I'm having trouble finding the original on LibGen, too.
