>You're writing like what a 16-year old imagines a philosopher's manner of speech to be.
Eh' sorry, English is not my first language, I read little beyond academic texts and RPG lore haha!
>Just look at advertisements
Of course, that helps the rich and powerful, consumerism is all well and good for them and they manipulate it to their will, but, really, you think that's something so strong as manipulating an entire society's culture? Things like what you call "family values".
Patriotism, well, that's the government, I'm more-so interested in what private individuals do, you know, the ones you typically perceive as bourgie scum. Patriotism is more or less put in through education and laws against having it otherwise, I can see how that comes up in a society and really, I don't see how that's some kind of oppressive bourgie bit of cultural hegemony that doesn't help the prols too.
TL;DR: Any methods other than advertisement you can list?
>racism has no place in the modern world
Probably won't ever come into acceptance in the mainstream of western countries (emphasis on Western, look at Burma or whatever the fuck they want to call themselves now, they treat their Muslim minority immigrants well). As I said, I'm an optimist, a man can dream.
>have no basis in scientific thought
We'll have to agree to disagree.
>/pol/
I don't go there, too many trolls, too few like-minded folk.
>effects that poverty and living in a cultural and economic underclass has on people regardless of race
True, most attributes I perceive as negative in black people (in terms of not being law-abiding, or intelligent, or what not) are probably attributes that would pop up almost as much (if not as much) in a genetically white population that were under the same socioeconomic conditions (although I don't know how the white man would ever get himself into such a situation, let's say, South Africa goes a little too far or something).
Still, I simply don't empathize with people not my race, and I think the world is better off with less resources from the government directed to help them, because my race is better off. I don't see any need to dispel this notion even if I entertain the possibility that biologically, all races share the same inherent traits of intelligence or what not.
