gonna be posting a bunch of quotes in this thread that I want to preserve. you are welcome to post critiques of a given pasta, just remember I don't 100% agree with all of these (only most) but consider them information worth saving. proposed edits will be considered

CONTENT WARNING: there's going to be mentions of imperial atrocities in here, including SA and torture.

racism is both capitalism's answer to why oppressed populations experience worse outcomes due to their material conditions and its justification for that oppression. if you ended racism magically without changing the material conditions, class-unconscious people will immediately start searching for an answer to explain those material disparities. if those material disparities benefit them, they will want a racist explanation instead of one that indicts their privilege.
