Colonizer democracy: a transient, exclusive democracy of colonizers by colonizers for colonizers needed for the success of colonization which gradually transforms to oligarchy (autocracy by few) due to increasing inequality.
Mesfin Arega
Apartheid South Africa was democratic in the sense of colonizer democracy – an exclusive democracy of the colonizer Afrikaner by the Afrikaner for the Afrikaner. In the same vein, America was initially crafted to be a WASP (White Anglo-Saxon Protestant) democracy – an exclusive democracy of the colonizer WASP by the WASP for the WASP, de facto, if not de jure like apartheid South Africa.
Until recently, WASP America had an unwritten law that only a WASP can occupy the highest offices of the country. The first Catholic president (John F. Kennedy) was elected in 1961, 185 years after the US was founded. The Immigration Act of 1924 was introduced to drastically reduce immigration from Southern, Central, and Eastern Europe. Italian Americans were the second largest group (after Black Americans) to be lynched by WASP supremacists. Suffice to mention one of the largest mass lynchings in American history (the 1891 New Orleans Lynching) whereby 11 Italians were viciously murdered by a mob for no crime other than being Italians. In fact, Columbus Day was first introduced as a one-time celebration by President Benjamin Harrison in 1892 (one year after the New Orleans Lynching) to appease Italian Americans for this heinous crime and it didn’t become a national holiday until 1934.
As the resistance to WASP domination of America stiffened (especially by Black Americans), the Anglo-Saxon was forced to make an alliance – a marriage of convenience – with all Europeans under the generic name “white”. As a result, America’s WASP democracy gradually changed to white democracy – an exclusive democracy of whites by whites for whites – strictly enforced by white supremacist laws like Black Codes and Jim Crow Laws. Moreover, America’s exclusive white democracy is becoming increasingly more exclusive and is dynamically transforming itself into exclusive white oligarchy whereby a group of few prominent oligarchs wields absolute, all-encompassing power. How effectively America’s prominent oligarchs like Peter Theil – whose motto is “competition is for losers” – have used their immense wealth to fund the brainwashing of America’s white youth towards absolute oligarchy and how close America is to absolute oligarchy can easily be observed, for example, by watching Mehdi Hasan’s debate with 20 so-called “white Christian conservatives” (“Mehdi Hasan vs. 20 Far Right Conservatives”).
The transformation of America from an exclusive white democracy to an exclusive white oligarchy is not a choice but a must because of the very nature of America as a settler colonial state. It started when colonizers who were basically penniless and, therefore, equal (wealth-wise) during the campaign to ethnically cleanse indigenous Americans became unequal when sharing indigenous lands according to their hierarchy in the colonization campaign. Robbers have to cooperate to achieve their shared objectives, but that cooperation quickly dissipates when dividing the spoils, because of the inherent selfishness and greed associated with robbing. Colonizers are nothing but murderous robbers of the highest order.
Settler colonialists need exclusive colonizer democracy to facilitate their colonization. For settler colonization to be as successful as possible, elections of leaders of the colonization have to be as democratic and as merit based as possible, and the most effective colonization leaders are revered as demigods. In this sense, settler colonizers are essentially like share-holders in a big company interested only in the maximum possible profit and, therefore, on leaders who would quickly deliver. Moreover, while settling, settler colonizers have not only free and fair elections but also unabridged “freedom of speech”. Each colonizer is not only encouraged but also urged to freely express his opinions and make suggestions for ensuring the success of the colonization.
However, once the colonized land is apportioned unequally in accordance with leadership hierarchy, nepotism, and other factors, those who benefited least from the colonization resent those who benefited most. As a result, the synergy during colonization quickly changes to discord. As the rich colonizers get richer at the expense of the poor colonizers, the resentment of the disadvantaged grows stronger, eventually changing to animosity. The division between the rich and the poor colonizers keeps widening with time, until it leads to outright rebellion which can turn into revolution, if and when organized.
Fearful of losing their property through such a revolution, the rich colonizers set up a legal system emphasizing the sanctity of “private property” and a “law enforcement force” to “serve” them and “protect” their property, while terrorizing the poor from ever rebelling, let alone organizing their rebellion into a revolution. In addition, they use their vast, all-encompassing, highly effective media to demonize any type of organization or union in the interest of the poor. Unionization by the poor for collective bargaining power is made a taboo, whereas monopolization (which is essentially unionization by the rich for concentration of power) is promoted. To quote, once again, the present-day prominent oligarch Peter Theil, “competition is for losers”, meaning “monopoly is for winners”.
In this respect, white supremacism is nothing but the oligarch’s psychological tool to prevent poor whites from ever forming a united front with Blacks against oligarchs. Desperately poor whites desperately need white supremacism to cope with their desperate situation.
“If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.” (President Lyndon B. Johnson)
The greedy American capitalist would rather intoxicate poor white Americans with virulent white supremacism than solve their actual problem and lift them out of poverty as, for example, “communist” China did in a matter of a few decades.
When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. Likewise, when everything you have is due to robbery (legal or illegal, direct or indirect), everybody else looks and acts like a robber, directly or indirectly. Hence, the American constitution’s undue emphasis on guns and private property. America – a country formed by violent trespassing – is the only country in the world where mere trespassing or knocking on a wrong door can get the innocent intruder instantly murdered, and the murderer widely praised for “standing his ground”, if not declared a national hero with multiple TV appearances, huge sponsorships, and lucrative book deals.
“Civilization” is cyclic, if only because hard times create hard working people who in turn create good times, whereas good times create idle people who in turn cause hard times. As such, there were so many dominations in the history of humanity (Nubian, Assyrian, Persian, Mayan, Mongol etc.). However, only the European attributes his domination to being superhuman. The intent is to make-believe that (unlike all other dominations in history) white domination is a superhuman domination which cannot be challenged by subhumans (non-whites) and, therefore, is everlasting. As such, white supremacism is nothing but a baseless construct – a nonsensical assertion contrary to all empirical and historical evidence – to perpetuate white domination.
The fact is, the European set out to colonize Africa, America, Asia, and Australia only after he sent his spies as “Christian missionaries” and found out the natives did not have the guns to fight him back. Even then, he was so lacking in valor and military skill that he did not find it easy to defeat natives fighting with bows and arrows against his guns and cannons. On many occasions he snatched victory from the jaws of defeat by employing the then weapons of mass destruction (WMD), such as the Maxim machine gun which could fire six hundred rounds per minute as well as biological weapons like the cholera bacteria and smallpox virus. This was best summarized by none other than a close colleague of Peter Theil and cofounder of Palantir Technologies, Alex Karp.
“The rise of the west was not made possible by the superiority of ideas or values or religion but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence.” (Alexander Karp)
Ironically, the west’s main means of violence – gunpowder – was invented by Chinese chemists in their quest to make humans immortal. However, the inherently violent westerners started to use it for the very opposite purpose and subsequently infected the whole world with their violence, if only because violence begets violence.
Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. As the oligarchs of a settler colonial state gain more power, they become more corrupt and use their ever-increasing power to twist the laws of the state more and more to their favor until they themselves become the law. Such a gradual transition from exclusive colonizer democracy to exclusive colonizer oligarchy is the fate of each and every settler colonial state. All settler colonialism starts with exclusive democracy for all colonizers and ends with exclusive autocracy by very few ultra-rich colonizers. Oligarchy is the last stage of settler colonialism, as imperialism is the last stage of capitalism.
As a settler colonial state, oligarchy is the final, logical conclusion of the American saga, filled with cruelty, violence, and horror. America has been heading to its final oligarchic destination ever since the “Declaration of Independence” was signed by the prominent oligarchs of the time – the so-called “founding fathers” of America.
The “founding fathers” of America were ultimate hypocrites who could not see the obvious contradiction of complaining about “taxation without representation” while they themselves were treating enslaved Blacks as three-fifths of a human being. At best, they were superficially enlightened, pseudo-intellectual, pretentious feudals (with slave serfs) whose understanding of enlightenment was only skin-deep, limited to stating well-known enlightenment clichés for self-serving purposes. They lived most of their lives mostly confined to rural America, far from the centers of enlightenment and were heavily influenced by white supremacist Puritan pastors like Cotton Mather, pretty much like Donald Trump is now heavily influenced by white supremacist evangelical pastors like Douglas Wilson.
The Puritans were the earliest protestant pastors of 16th and 17th century who colonized what is now called New England and founded America’s earliest universities like Harvard and Yale, not as educational institutions for all Americans, but as theological universities to propagate their version of white supremacism and Black inferiority, especially their claim that slavery was sanctioned by God and, therefore, is beneficial for both the slave and the slave master. When the virulent white supremacist Woodrow Wilson (the Donald Trump of 1913 to 1921) vehemently opposed admission of Blacks to Princeton, he was simply applying the white supremacist teachings of his own father who was one of the founders of a church deeply rooted in Puritanism, the Southern Presbyterian Church. The same with the Prespbyterian pastor Douglas Wilson who is so sadistic as to claim slavery in the South “produced a genuine affection between the races” and credits Christianity for this “genuine affection”. According to Wilson, the southern slave had genuine affection to be whipped, depraved, branded (with hot iron), mutilated, castrated, raped, and lynched by his master, thanks to the “predominance” of Wilson’s version of Christianity – Puritanism to be exact. And this is what MAGA exactly means – to make Puritanism predominant again so that white slave masters will be “genuinely liked” by their non-White slaves.
When Abraham Lincoln (the very same Lincoln who oversaw the largest mass execution in America’s history following the Dakota Natives Uprising) spoke about “government of the people for the people by the people“, it was obvious that by “the people” he meant whites and whites only, since his government was nothing but a white by white for white government. When Thomas Jefferson (the very same Jefferson who had more than 600 slaves including his own children from his own slave) stated “all men are created equal“, he literally meant white men, not including even white women, let alone slaves. When Francis Scot Key penned “The Star-Sprangled Banner” and claimed America to be “the land of the free” (at a time when native genocide was at its worst and slavery was at its ugliest), he was simply stating the obvious fact that American freedom is exclusive to whites and whites only. When George Washington, to rally his troops against the British, cried “the time is near at hand which determines whether Americans are to be free men or slaves“, he was conveniently forgetting that he, himself was enslaving more than 300 Americans. And when Patrik Henry (another “founding father” hypocrite) cried “give me liberty or give me death” at, of all places, the pulpit of a church, he, himself was “giving” slow, agonizing death to his hundreds of slaves.
Frederick Douglass was right on the mark when he asked, “what to the slave on the Fourth of July?” I, for one, will go further than Douglass and say Blacks should observe July 4 not as a day of independence, but as a day of mourning, as the day the American colonialist became fully independent from the British Monarch to make Native genocide and Black bondage harsher. Native genocide and Black bondage became harsher after the “independence” of America because of the very nature of whites who came to settle in America.
In the days of the “founding fathers”, the British who came to settle in America were the lowest of the low and the poorest of the poor in Britain. In fact, a large number of them were fugitives or banished criminals. They had to come to America because they couldn’t make it in Britain. However, when they settled in America, they owned huge tracts of land British aristocrats would not even dream of owning. In addition, they owned another a very special “property” even British royals cannot own – a human property, a slave. This is why British colonial settlers in America were vicious slave masters, since they themselves were essentially slaves in Britain. In effect, the British who were abused in Britain settled in America to become worse abusers. The low-class British who were despised in aristocratic Britain moved to America to become worse “dispisers” – virulent white supremacists. They passed on their white supremacism to the next generation by adding a religious justification for it and, therefore, making it worse from generation to generation so much so that it is now basically inherent, almost impossible to unlearn. Only an American white supremacist coward can have the bestial cruelty to drag a Blackman behind a pickup truck for 3 miles (5 kilometers) along an asphalt road, dump the mutilated remains of the victim in front of a church and then drive off straight to a barbecue.
This also explains why the overly exaggerated, highly glorified so-called American War of Independence was more of a skirmish than a war. After all, why should a poor British soldier fight and die for a remote British Monarch when he can easily change sides, settle in America, rob huge lands, own numerous slaves, and lead a life materially much better than the British Monarch himself? However, for the “lower caste” British colonial settlers, the so-called “American Revolutionary War” is nothing but their ultimate message to the British ruling class that they are no longer “lower caste”. And not sure of being heard, they have to repeat the message ad nauseam, hence the need for excessive exaggeration and glorification.
No general has ever been glorified as the once slave-holding tobacco farmer, second-rate general George Washington who lost a number of battles and was repeatedly criticized for weak commandeering and low troop morale. And no war has ever been glamorized as the “American Revolutionary War”. In fact, there was nothing “revolutionary” in the “American Revolutionary War”, and the adjective was used for mere exaggeration and glamorization. In the same vein, the so-called “American Civil War” was not a civil war between Americans but a fight between two vicious looting gangs of America over their differences in managing their loot, explaining why it was by far the most deadly war in American history, simply because it was colonizer against colonizer.
The MAGA revolution is a clear, unmistakable sign that settler colonial America is in the last stage of its necessary transition from colonizer democracy to absolute oligarchy. Every time America takes one step towards true, multiracial democracy (such as through the Voting Rights Act of 1965 to overcome discrimination at local and state levels), it immediately reverses course to take two steps towards oligarchy under the catch-phrase “less government”, electing Nixon in 1969, Reagan in 1981, and Trump in 2016. Nixon was the American oligarch’s reaction to the Voting Rights Act of 1965, just as Trump was the reaction of the same to the election of Obama in 2008.
Reagan officially began his first presidential campaign in the most racist state (Mississippi) near the site where three Civil Rights Movement activists (James Chaney, Andrew Goodman, and Michael Schwerner) were viciously murdered by KKK in 1964 (a year before the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965). As a sports broadcaster, Reagan’s main usefulness as a puppet to the American oligarch was his unique ability to rouse the rabble. He was the one who introduced the catchphrase “Make America Great Again” to stir up his white supremacist base who yearn for the pre-1965 Jim Crow era.
Reagan’s relentless campaign against the federal government was also led by another catch-phrase – “States Rights” – which essentially means states like Mississippi should be able to freely follow their racist policies with little or no interference from the federal government. This is, to say the least, ironic, coming from Reagan the macho-man, the epitome of American imperialism which goes around the world to topple sovereign governments opposed to its unwarranted interference in their internal affairs under the guise of rules-based international order, democracy, and human rights. The fact is, no state (whatever its shape or form) should have the right to trample universal rights and that is the foundational principle – the raison d’être – of the United Nations headquartered, ironically, in the United States.
Donald Trump, as a puppet of the American oligarch, is a mere extension of Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan, albeit much more brazen. He is brazen partly because he is astute enough to know that white supremacists enraged by the election of Obama and the little progress made in the direction of multiracial democracy are venting their anger through him. Besides, as a nepotism baby, he has worked for no one, was accountable to no one, and was responsible for nothing and, therefore, has an overinflated ego unchecked by authority and reality. Like all white supremacists in general and, as the president with the “smallest hands” in particular, he is highly insecure and white supremacism is his way of compensating for his chronic inferiority complex, especially in attributes Blacks are presumed to be superior.
In fact, “America the beautiful” founded by the “enlightened” “founding fathers” was so ugly and so savage that castration of Blacks was a legally sanctioned punishment. It was widely applied whenever a White woman showed the slightest sign of flirtation with a Blackman, if only because her Whiteman was severely deficient in that department. By castrating a Blackman, an impotent Whiteman claims he is superior only because his useless “private” is intact, and this has always been the modus operandi of the white supremacist.
Nowadays a white teenager who is thoroughly trained in a highly structured machine language and spends most of his day staring at a computer screen considers himself high IQ and proudly calls himself racist only because he is not conversant in the unstructured social language and, therefore, deeply resents the social skills of his Black peers. Sexual motivation being one of the most, if not the most, driver of human behavior (especially of the youth), such an anti-social white teenager would rather be social but since he can’t, those who can become his sour grapes – his objects of ridicule. In this respect, worthy of mention is the software developer Curtis Yarvin who, as the founder of a far-right movement called Dark Enlightenment which opposes enlightenment values like democracy, had profound influence on right-wing extremists like Steve Bannon and Peter Theil and, through Peter Theil, on J. D Vance.
“I am racist before racism became a fashion.” (Curtis Yarvin)
The proudly racist Mr. Yarvin vehemently opposes civil rights for Blacks, based on his argument that whites have inherently higher IQ than Blacks, conveniently forgetting that IQ tests are at best pseudo-scientific tests designed by whites for whites and that, if Asians score higher than whites on these tests, it is only because they tend to be more white than whites and that, if these IQ tests correlate with job performance, it is only because the American system is a white by white for white system.
Test results indicate more of test preparation than intelligence and test preparation is heavily dependent on socioeconomic factors which, in white supremacist America, strongly favor whites and white-aligned Asians. The fact that almost all “Spelling Bee” winners are of Indian origin has absolutely no bearing on the English proficiency of Indians and even on the winners themselves. If anything, it indicates excessive coaching and drilling on esoteric words which have little to no practical value, thereby indicating the degree to which Indian Parents would go to be more English than the English. In his own vernacular, a young Black rapper knows much more about practical English than most professors of English and, if freestyle rapping on any subject were to be an IQ test, whites and Asians would have failed miserably and would surely be called “low IQ”. Above all Curtis Yarvin and the so-called “computer nerds” like him, trained as they were in highly structured machine languages, would surely be the lowest of the low IQ. So much for IQ tests and intelligence.
Mr. Yarvin is the norm rather than the exception to white supremacism. White supremacists chose to be supremacists and, therefore, are proud to be called racists. In fact, most of them (the likes of Nick Fuentes and Laura Loomer) have nothing else to be proud of. Therefore, Blacks should get rid of the word “racist” from their vocabulary and refer to white supremacists not as racists but as deplorables – for that is what they really are. For the deplorable Stephen Miller, being called a racist is a badge of honor – a validation – and, therefore, he would say and do anything to get that honor. For the deplorable Caroline Leavitt, racist means honorable and, therefore, an encouragement to be more so, explaining why she beams with pride every time she disparages Black correspondents, emulating her deplorable boss. And the deplorable Curtis Yarvin is so proud to be called racist as to publicly say “I am racist before racism became a fashion.” By removing the very word “racist” from their vocabulary and refusing to recognize it, Blacks should force Curtis Yarvin to say, “I was deplorable before deplorable became a fashion”. And those who say, “I am not racist” should be forced to say, “I am not deplorable”.
Donald Trump got his “low IQ” disparagement of Blacks from no one else but J. D. Vance who in turn got it from Curtis Yarvin. And Curtis Yarvin’s “Blacks have low IQ” is no different from Rudyard Kipling’s Blacks are “The Whiteman’s Burden”. The fact is, contrary to Kipling’s assertion, it is the Whiteman who has always been the Blackman’s burden and not the other way round. Moreover, it is not the Blackman who is “half devil and half child” but the violent white supremacist who is an insatiable beast – a white beast. Everywhere the white colonialist goes, he leaves a trail of massacre and destruction to both nature and humanity. He is directly responsible for the extermination of hundreds of millions of humans and the extinction of thousands of cultures and languages as well as millions of animal and plant species. Indeed, it would not be too much of a stretch to say the white supremacist is a deadly cancer to nature and humanity, considering the irreparable damage he did to both nature and humanity ever since he started to dominate the world misusing the gunpowder (invented by the Chinese) for his sadistic purposes.
The white supremacist owes everything to merciless application of brute force, ethics and morality be damned. To quote, once again, Alex Karp ,“the rise of the west was not made possible by the superiority of ideas or values or religion but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence.” As such, force – rather violence – is the only language the white supremacist understands. He respects only those who disrespect him and treats those who take the high road as cowards. For too long, Black Americans have been trying to take white supremacism out of the white supremacist, preaching “all men are created equal”. However, the more they try to meet the white supremacist halfway, the faster the white supremacist runs away from them and the wider and deeper the gulf between them and the white supremacist becomes. In this sense, Blacks have been acting stupid – doing the same thing ad infinitum and expecting a different outcome. It is now time for the Blacks to stop this stupidity and fight fire with fire and defeat the white supremacist at every facet of his own game, however violent that game may be. If someone is running away from you and you keep running towards him, he will keep running away from you. However, if you stop, he will surely stop. Better yet, if you run in the opposite direction, he may reverse and walk (even run) towards you. Unfortunately, this is the only way to deal with “force worshipping” white supremacists and this is exactly what Black Americans should do.
Donlad Trump’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is another name for Ronald Reagan’s “States Rights”. Regan used the “States Rights” pretext to give states full power to legislate white supremacy, with no oversight from the federal government. Donald Trump’s pretext to do the same is “government efficiency”. DOGE is the American oligarch’s crusade against the federal government and its workers (especially Blacks) and has nothing to do with efficiency. Otherwise, DOGE would not have left out the Department of Defense – the most wasteful and inefficient component of the US government which has never passed a full financial audit. Unlike the Department of Education, the Department of Defense is the darling of the American oligarch, if only because (as a purchaser of military supplies with excessively inflated budget accounting for more than 40% of the global military expenditure) it is the main lifeline of the American oligarch’s military-industrial-complex.
Donald Trump’s relentless campaign against DEI is nothing but an effort to wipe out the legacy of MLK, as he did to that of Obama. This is why white supremacists associate DEI exclusively with Blacks, even though white women are by far the most beneficiaries of DEI, followed by Indians and other non-Black minorities. The Charlie Kirks of America are afraid to fly only if the DEI pilot is Black but do not mind if the DEI pilot is a white woman, an Indian or any other Asian. DEI is now the new n-word for the cowardly white supremacist and is being indiscriminately applied to all successful Blacks, even to those who have absolutely nothing to do with DEI, like the duly elected congresswoman Jasmine Crockett and the young, charismatic mayor of Baltimore, Brandon Scott. Only Uncle Toms and Aunt Tammys like Tim Scott, Bayron Donalds, Ben Carson, and Candace Owens are spared from the DEI insult, that is, as long as they remain Uncle Toms and Aunt Tammys.
The American white supremacist vehemently opposes DEI for the simple reason that every time the playing field is levelled (be it in education, sports, art, music etc.) he quickly turns from an overwhelming majority to a miniscule minority. Had America not been white supremacist, what happened to basketball, football, and baseball will surely happen to science, technology, and engineering in a few generations, irrespective of the Whiteman’s generational advantage for centuries. Therefore, speaking of DEI, the question should not be where America is now in science, technology, arts, business etc. but where America would have been had it been true to its declaration that “all men are created equal” and treated Blacks equal to whites and provided Blacks every opportunity it provided whites.
Granville Woods (the “Black Edison”) could not go to school in white supremacist America and, therefore, had to teach himself while working as a child laborer. And yet, he invented and demonstrated the first electric roller coaster in 1892, thereby pioneering present day electric cars. Moreover, he invented railroad telegraphy for communication between trains. In addition, he held more than 30 patents for breakthrough advancements on electric railways and communication. Alexander Graham Bell “invented” the telephone only after buying Granville Woods’ patent on Multiplex Telegraph – a groundbreaking device that allowed multiple messages to be sent simultaneously through a single wire. Elon Musk would not have Tesla and Twitter without critical inventions by Blacks (especially by Granville Woods and Marian Croak) but uses the wealth he generated from those inventions to promote white supremacism, just as his father Errol Musk would not have been able to promote apartheid in South Africa without South African emerald.
If Lonnie Johnson invented the “Linex” robot as a high school student in a barely equipped all-black school in Alabama, what else would he have invented had he gone to one of the best schools of the state reserved only for whites? If the same Lonnie Johnson, as the only Black student in a science fair attended by hundreds of whites from Alabama’s top schools, won the first-place prize, what does it say about the potential of Blacks versus Whites? If George Carver (dubbed the “Black Leonardo” by Time magazine) who was born into slavery and, therefore, was not allowed to go to public schools and was refused admission by many universities, pioneered present day Environmental Science, what else would he have pioneered in a non-white supremacist America?
The American white supremacist justifies white supremacism by listing the achievements of whites and purposely misinterpreting it. If whites are the only players in a game, the results of the game have no bearing on Blacks. If hundreds of whites (and only whites) set out to search for a person missing in a forest, one of them is sure to eventually succeed, and that successful person is sure to be white, but that person cannot attribute his (her) success to being white. If, for instance, all American Nobel Prize winners in physics happen to be white, it is only because, until very recently, essentially all students who studied physics in elite American research universities were white, while teaching Blacks even to read and write was punishable by law. It was easy for Europeans to dominate the “mental fields” of science, engineering, music, literature etc. when everybody else was doing the manual work for them, explaining why their domination in these fields started to dwindle the moment they started to lose their colonies.
“Whites split atoms” said the deplorable Charlie Kirk, to justify his virulent white supremacism, conveniently forgetting that Blacks built pyramids long before the very existence of white was recorded in history. The fact is whites split atoms not because, as Charlie Kirk claimed, they were whites but only because they were the only ones in the labs for splitting atoms. The Chinese, the Indians, the Pakistanis, and the North Koreans are now splitting atoms. They will soon be followed by Africans, if and when they get rid of their white puppet leaders propped up by white supremacist America. After all, nearly all of the Uranium used for the very first atomic bombs (dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki) was mined in Congo where ores typically yield 63% Uranium, as opposed to a maximum yield of about 0.03% for ores in US and Canada.
Blacks tend to achieve more under less favorable circumstances than Whites under more favorable circumstances. Considering that the number of Black scientists, engineers, inventors, and discoverers as a percentage of the number of Blacks who attended decent schools is much higher than that for Whites, one can’t help feeling sad about how badly America has wasted its Black resource (its Black gold) because of its idiotic white supremacism. The American white supremacist would rather “import” Browns through H-1B visas than see Black Americans excel and thereby contradict the basic tenet of his white supremacist ideology. His fear of Black success is so much so that he will gladly defund (if not totally close) schools, colleges, universities, and other centers of excellence benefiting mostly whites if he thinks they also benefit Blacks even by a tiny bit. He is more than happy to fire thousands of whites if he can make few Blacks jobless in the process.
Black America is White America’s greatest fear and scapegoat, for the sole reason that Black power is the only power that would dismantle white supremacist America. China, Russia, India and others are content, if not happy, playing by the rules of white supremacist America so long as it is beneficial to them. This is the reason why, for example, America sabotaged Ghana’s development to keep it an impoverished “Third World” country while playing a crucial role in propelling South Korea from “Third World” below Ghana to “First World” above Spain in a matter of a few decades. Korea has no issue with white supremacism, Ghana has. Besides, “First World” Ghana cannot be used for shaming Black America by the “go back to Africa” insult of the Charlie Kirks of America. Moreover, having no parallel at conquering by dividing, the white supremacist wants Koreans to think that white supremacism is a black-white issue they can profit from, that is, until he deals with Blacks and Africa. The unprecedented sanctions imposed on Russia and the confiscation (rather, the robbery) of its foreign assets has clearly shown that whatever foreign asset Korea has is not really Korean, because it can be taken under the flimsiest of pretexts, and whatever industries Korea built can be easily destroyed under the severest of sanctions and restrictions – that is, unless Korea remains subservient to white supremacism and white domination of the world.
America’s white supremacist hegemonic power is principally a soft power based on the totally wrong perception of America as a just country which, thanks to Trump, is now being totally exposed. As for America’s military power, Afghanistan and the Taliban have clearly shown its limitations. As a result, the world has started not to fear America’s atomic energy, if only because, in the timeless words of Bob Marley, “none of them can stop time”.
In addition, because of its racist, discriminatory system, America is one of the least, if not the least, cohesive countries in the whole world. It is severely segregated by wealth and race and is held together by brute force and subtle indoctrination through education and entertainment, not unlike North Korea, albeit much more charming and persuasive. After all, this is a country where children have to daily recite a “pledge of allegiance” starting from an age they know the meaning of neither pledge nor allegiance. From Kindergarten to high school, they daily parrot America as “one nation under God, indivisible”, not knowing that no nation breaks up other nations like America, and no nation is as ungodly as America.
With the election of Trump, white supremacist America is now highly oligarchic with a police force unlike any other in the whole world, armed to the teeth and next to none in brutality, a force Trump will soon give “qualified immunity” to shield it from any and all forms of accountability. To make this highly autocratic America fully autocratic and become the “Dear Leader” or “Mein Führer” of America, all Trump has to do is take a few more steps in the direction he is heading. To this end, Trump is guided by the “Mandate for Leadership” of “Project 2025” which is essentially Trump’s “Mein Kampf” authored by former Trump officials under “The Heritage Foundation” – a white supremacist think tank heavily funded by the likes of Peter Theil.
And Trump is hell-bent on pressing on in the direction he is heading, egged on by oligarch-funded riff-raff white supremacists like Stephen Miller, and Laura Loomer. He is surging ahead in a hurry, before mother time catches him. For now, nothing seems to stand in his way to obstruct him, let alone stop him, barring a miracle. Colonial settler America is hurtling towards its inevitable final stage – absolute autocracy. The question is not if, but when will it get there.
Standing on the shoulders of giants like Nixon and Reagan, Trump is now able to clearly see the final, oligarchic destination of settler-colonial America. Should mother time decide not to allow Donald Trump take settler-colonial America to its final, logical destination, the oligarch-subservient JD Vance is well-prepared and readied for the role by none other than the preeminent oligarch of our time, the Apartheid crook Peter Theil who bankrolled JD Vance’s meteoric rise from obscurity. The same Peter Theil whose motto is “competition is for losers”, meaning “monopoly is for winners”. He may as well say “democracy is for losers and autocracy is for winners”, which should not be surprising considering his neo-Nazi lineage and apartheid background.
The hot topic of the day (the “Jeffery Epstein files”) is, perhaps, the worst of Trump’s Achilles hills. JD Vance’s alleged role in fanning the topic behind the scenes is making it increasingly clear that Peter Theil’s preferred plan may be for JD Vance to be the “Joshua” of America’s journey to its oligarchic destination – Trump being the “Moses”. Trump will take America only up to the edge of the “Potomac” (the “Jordan River” of settler-colonial America), and then JD Vance will take over from Trump to cross the river.
Peter Theil’s preferred choice is JD Vance because, in addition to being devious like him, he is under his full, complete control. With JD Vance at the oval office, Peter Theil will be the real president of America, wielding all presidential power to steer America to absolute oligarchy, guided by his unwavering belief that “competition is for losers”. If Trump’s aim is to outsmart Theil and use him, Vance’s aim is to be in full service of Theil on his march towards the “Fourth Reich” now centered in America – the “Manifest Destiny” of the Aryan. Trump is a narcissist who would do evil to satisfy his narcissism. However, Vance is an inherently evil person who does evil for evil’s sake, just like his mentor Peter Theil. Birds of the same feather flock together.
If, and that is a big if, America can be stopped from becoming fully and officially oligarchic, it is easier done under the brazen Trump than the sinister Theil, given his sadistic personality, amplified by his neo-Nazi and apartheid background. Therefore, those who wish Trump be impeached or die a natural death to be replaced by Theil should be careful what they wish for or should better be well-prepared for the worse.
If there is one thing to accept at face value from the “Declaration of Independence”, it is the assertion that “whenever any form of government becomes destructive, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute a new government”. If there ever was a time to seriously heed this incitement to rebellion of the “Declaration of Independence” and organize the rebellion into a revolution to “alter” America’s white supremacist, imperialist government, it is now when white supremacists have let all their guards down, completely relying on Donald Trump and his cohorts. It may even be now or never.
Calling for revolution to alter the American white supremacist, oligarchic system is “constitutional” and does not make one anti-America, that is, unless one equates anti-white supremacist America to anti-America. Anti-Americans are those who keep saying “my country, right or wrong” and “my way or the highway” while America is following their “highway” and speeding in the wrong direction towards the abyss, becoming increasingly more racist and oligarchic.
The unjust American empire has to be completely dismantled to build a just American home. And no one has more potential to dismantle and rebuild America than Black Americans who have survived and, to some extent, thrived under the worst form of oppression in human history.
“If you have the ability to mobilize Blacks on this planet, there isn’t anything that you couldn’t take, dismantle, destroy or interrupt.” (Katt Wiliams)

One can be wondering is it objective political reality facing America or a perspective of conspiratorial of analysis laced with Blacknationalism.? America’s political and economic complexities and its dynamism create many political trends hard to label anything .
