Why do we allow elites to use race and ethnicity to divide us when, by and large, we share the same material interests?
>le elite is stirring up ethnic tensions

slovakia anon is right
even before capitalism race and ethnicity has been a very dividing factor
capitalism actually hides it pretty well, interestingly while capitalism seens the disintegration of boundaries as a method to cheap labor it also stirs the communal jealous of one people versus another in whatever fashion
so while there is elite intervention in all this its actually a causal backfire
i will probably have enough patience to explain this just once but there was a group of very influential elite in america that met around the time of obama to try to not have another obama because of the obama anti-business fear so they worked very very hard to discredit a lot of the old power
this vacuum allowed trump to take advantage of, he wasn't this group's choice at all, not even now
anyway they promoted a very libertarian pro business line while their candidate didn't get far their ideas in political destruction went very far, with the sense of failure of the status quo and the information warfare waged by these people the regular people can't take it anymore and they just dig deep in the psyche and dredge up some very very dark part of themselves
so while the elites did do something it was actually an accident
