    I’m thoroughly confused about WhiteDeal.

    A service where one contracts other white supremacists to do menial ad hoc jobs for a cost under the market price just seems so very antithetical to the whole “supremacy” thing.

      I think it makes some sense. To be a white supremacist, you have to not think too hard. To be a libertarian and against minimum wage, you have to not think too hard.

      That kind of cognitive dissonance is what leads some people to give up ideologies like white supremacy. The endless rationalizing of hypocrisy is fucking exhausting. It’s a lot easier to just accept people as they are than build a whole framework around hating groups of people that allows for like, your neighbor, or an actor, or an athlete, to be okay because “well they’re different than the rest.” Or whatever bullshit excuse.
