Reddit reviews Street Wars: Gangs and the Future of Violence

Has society, in fact, renounced racial warfare? Certainly the days of lynching are long past. But as Mencius Moldbug observed, violence committed by minorities is received quite differently. It is terribly convenient that it should embolden demands for social justice, which is to be realized by transferring more money and power into the hands of the progressive political machine. And because the Cathedral tells blacks that they have been hideously deprived and that the whole of white society is guilty in perpetuating an international racist conspiracy against them, black-on-white crime is justified on the grounds of political retribution and transgenerational trauma. And there is also the overt alliance the left-wing made with gangs i.e. ethnic militias in the heyday of Third Worldism, which continues to some extent.

Progressives cannot disown class and racial resentments because these grievances are fundamental to their demotic strategy.
