  • Elites ate our social justice movements, right after they brought them to the table
    Oct 4 2023

    Did the elites take over social justice movements like MeToo, Black Lives Matter and Occupy Wall Street?  Not exactly. Those movements were all totally in alignment with elite values in the northern United States. And those elites do control most American media and most of academia. So, to say these "causes" were ever separate from elitism would not be quite right. They were only separate from Southern elitism. In truth, social justice has become something of a religious cause to the heirs to the Puritans in Yankeedom. It's hard to imagine that a Marxist-style working class revolution could ever overwhelm that dynamic.

    Here are the articles I mentioned:
