Creating an anti-white narrative is an important part of very-far-left advocates, which is why the term POC (Person of Color) was created. ...to ensure that minorities that are not black are supportive of movements like BLM.

Reinforcing a narrative of white-supremacy is a key part of that strategy.



Australia is where Murdoch honed his craft before coming to the US. What makes you so sure that the anti white narrative you perceive is genuinely a left creation, and not a media figment to keep everyone furiously engaged with media. In my years in the US I spent time with Oakland anarchists and Texan republicans, and in neither place met the mindless automaton monsters the other side loathed. Murdoch always amplified and distorted to generate fear and disgust. There’s no shortage of idiots ready to talk stupid, or good people who can be edited to sound dumb and dangerous. Murdoch’s trick has always been to elevate these people as spokespeople, or representative of a wider group, and by doing so inflame. It doesn’t need to be part of a plan to rule the world, it could emerge just from a desire to capture viewer attention, but the end result is we focus on the stupidest things say as the thing that defines them and the cause they advocate, and as a result we are made shrill and unintelligible to each other. I try not to care if a BLM person says something stupid. I try not to care if an individual cop is not prepared to testify against a colleague, but the worst impulses human impulses in me really want to jump in and be inflamed, redirecting all my energy to the stupid and trivial, away from the collaboration and cooperation that actually solves problems
