When you really start to pull the layers back, you start to see that there is more to these movements than meets the eye. Social justice my ass! It's about racial advantage and by damn, you're going to have the foot the bill!

By their own narratives these organizations are committed to separatist goals. To them, civic affairs are legitimate and material only to the extent it advances their agenda and, however prettified, their agenda is about race and racial advantage. Not sometimes. Not mostly. Always. Oddly, we're not only to pretend we don't notice but to assure others by word and deed how very deeply we don't notice. It's an entertaining farce. Those who fail to not notice may be admonished to ratchet down their noticing to a level equivalent to not noticing. But even to acknowledge the noticing is risky. It's safer to not notice the lack of sufficient not noticing. And so they do. Or is it don't?

The working definition of racism is "any distinction, exclusion, restriction or preference based on race, color, descent, or national or ethnic origin," so we can dispense with the "color of their skin" bromide. By this measure the only difference between these outfits and the olde tymme night riders is middle America's remarkable ability to imagine it ain't so. Middle America is told what to think , what to say and how to say it. And they do. There are those who say they deserve all that has befallen them and all that will befall them. With no persuasive evidence otherwise, refutation is a hard prospect.

Pretending these organizations protect the vulnerable from ongoing oppression, or pretending they serve some common good reveals contempt for both common sense and the common good. A nation survives only if enough citizens respect the common good. For that reason there is no Congressional White Caucus or National Association of White Journalists, nor is there likely to be. There is a crucial difference between preserving one's heritage and seeking influence and benefit from it. It's a bizarre foundation for racial pride. Their contention that race supremacy is the default motive for everybody else merely reveals an unhealthy obsession with it. Nor is it convincing to reprove the putative origins of racism itself if it's merely to be the foundation for a different racism.

So much for the bright side.

The dark side is this: we are some ways down the road to the Balkanization. If the law of intended consequences still holds, and if everybody gets what they say they want, the disunited states will be a patchwork of territories run by the same kind of demagogues that are advocating for it now. And the aggressive, no-quarters hostility of these organizations suggests the nature of their hoped-for autonomy.

Their enablers will be shocked to learn that paranoid, unstable fiefdoms won't worry overmuch about endangered species or gay rights or carbon footprints if, say, basic utilities are not functioning. Desperate people aren't known for demanding anything they can't eat, drink or wear. And separatist romantics don't often think about such things as water rights or preventing epidemics or commercial agreements, or anything else that relies on cooperation and competency. If it's not a deliverable they assume somebody's taking care of it. There won't be a somebody taking care of it.

Further, race-based outfits seem to think outside support is a condition of nature, that it just happens and would continue to just happen should they withdraw. They see separatism as something in addition to, not instead of, "full funding"-for-nothing-in-return. In other words, they assume an America willing and able to see to their needs unconditionally. Unpoliced political correctness has a half-life of about two days. If nationhood ends it will do so in a fit of animosity and, likely, violence. Middle America is stupid but not suicidal, they're not likely to continue offering up their own viability on behalf of newly-remote and openly hostile others.
