    The Dalton School, one of the most prestigious private schools in Manhattan ($54000 tuition per year, obviously most students are white), is experiencing a race meltdown.

    Dalton teachers are revolting, and have issued a set of demands to the school:

    "The demands for additional staffers alone would add
    millions of dollars to Dalton's annual budget. Siphoning
    off 50% of donations would dry up funding. Eliminating AP
    classes (referred to as "leveled courses") would destroy
    college admissions. It's not an exaggeration to say these
    demands, if implemented, would destroy Dalton
    altogether. According to insiders, much damage has already
    been done."

    The effect of these demands will be completely opposite: money from donations normally go to sponsor black students. Now there will be half as many of them.

    Best high school in America, Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology, is closing down because there are too many Asian students

    Since race-blind merit-based admission is based on test results and the tests result do not follow racial correctness, 61% of the students there were Asians. They are moving to admission by lottery, which is basically the same as to close down the brand name of TJHSST.

    The main function of premier math-heavy high schools is to prevent children with borderline Asperger from being bullied by their classmates. Tests that require Olympiad-level math skills is the ideal way to gather them all together. If you put random people from the street together with autists and other math-crazy people, the former will beat up the latter, but you can't explain that to the lilac-haired horde.

    “Wokefishing”, put simply, is when people masquerade as holding progressive political views to ensnare potential partners. A wokefish may at first present themselves as a protest-attending, sex-positive, anti-racist, intersectional feminist who drinks ethically sourced oat milk and has read the back catalogue of Audre Lorde, twice. But in reality, they don’t give a shit. Or, as is often the case, they are actively the opposite in their personal lives.

    Author of "In Defense of Looting”, published in august.
    Vicky Osterweil, formerly William Osterweil.

    Tl;dr: Property is racism, because all property belongs to white people. Looting is good, because it combats racism and challenges class society, and the best entertainment for the masses is "controlled arson".

    Osterweil uses Korean store owners during the 1992 Los Angeles riots as an illustration of white cisgender male racism at the forefront of white suprematism.

    The most natural reaction to this book would be "if resisting robbery is racism, then I'm racist and I'm proud of it", but you can't say that in America, and so the Americans continue to marinate in their suppressed "racist" urges.

    All Trump has to do is to give a sign, and he will win by a landslide.
    And this is exactly what will happen
