      The far left and the far right have lots of points of agreement. For instance, identifying hard work, the scientific method and a yearning for family structure with whiteness https://nmaahc.si.edu/learn/talking-about-race/topics/whiteness … pic.twitter.com/A3OPmmGcCA

      2. I should maybe save this for my Hofstadter piece but Chait is using the standard Hofstadterian technique of identify stuff that is pervasive in America & shared by centrist elite only with extreme left and right. This is very bad framework.https://twitter.com/jonathanchait/status/1283428860248363013 …

      3. If you want to understand why America has such a miserly welfare state, you have to understand that the equation of hardwork with whiteness is pervasive, including liberal elites that formed social system. Here's covers for a liberal magazine both Chait & I worked forpic.twitter.com/FaxcC4UxVo

          Funnily enough, not everyone thinks the US has a miserly welfare state, or that white Americans have anything like a monopoly on work ethic

          There is a very long history of White America refusing to help the "lazy, dark-skinned” other (see, for example, The New Deal).

          If I murmur the magical phrase "liberal elites," I can transform the worldviews of Hillary Clinton and Grover Norquist into one and the same.

          If I murmur the magical phrase “far left,” I can conjure up a worldview that encompasses a racial essentialism but eschews class/material analysis

          That’s why left and right should agree on immigration moratorium. Cities/states are being starved of sufficient $ for public services and infrastructure to maintain 1st world living conditions. Why didn’t we have massive homeless population and public squalor until last 10 years?

          We had a massive homeless population and public squalor since at least the mid-80s, after Reagan pulled funding for mental health institutions and threw the mentally ill onto the street. The rising cost of housing and falling wages did the rest.

          For whatever reason, despite massive wave of immigration since 1970s (which is supposed to increase wealth), decline of public services, poorer performing schools, lower life expectancy, signs of declining nation.

          Powers-that-be keep arguing for more immigration despite these declining conditions - not to mention bulging landfills, crowded freeways, water shortages. Elites refuse to upgrade the country while more and more people are basically discarded.
