>We feel pressure to display our status in new ways. This is why fashionable clothing always changes. But as trendy clothes and other products become more accessible and affordable, there is increasingly less status attached to luxury goods.
>The upper classes have found a clever solution to this problem: luxury beliefs. These are ideas and opinions that confer status on the rich at very little cost, while taking a toll on the lower class.
>One example of luxury belief is that all family structures are equal. This is not true. Evidence is clear that families with two married parents are the most beneficial for young children. And yet, affluent, educated people raised by two married parents are more likely than others to believe monogamy is outdated, marriage is a sham or that all families are the same.
>Another luxury belief is that religion is irrational or harmful. Members of the upper class are most likely to be atheists or non-religious. But they have the resources and access to thrive without the unifying social edifice of religion.
>White privilege is the luxury belief that took me the longest to understand, because I grew up around poor whites. Often members of the upper-class claim that racial disparities stem from inherent advantages held by whites. Yet Asian Americans are more educated, have higher earnings and live longer than whites. Affluent whites are the most enthusiastic about the idea of white privilege, yet they are the least likely to incur any costs for promoting that belief. Rather, they raise their social standing by talking about their privilege.
>In other words, upper-class whites gain status by talking about their high status. When laws are enacted to combat white privilege, it won’t be the privileged whites who are harmed. Poor whites will bear the brunt.

This whole shit began not with Trump or Gamergate but with Occupy Wallstreet.
The rich just want to distract people with mindless stuff. After the mass of modern entertainment has left a part of the population still unaffected they tried to make those people waste their time in politics, changing the rules of the politics game to transform it into the SJW shit-flinging it is now so nobody could have a noticeable effect on the real world. Little did they know that the pushing of politics and their infection of entertainment awoke more people to the fact that media companies control the public consciousness than it distracted the politically minded people.
Evil rich whites, jews, illuminati, the 1%, they are all effectively the same thing, the same group. A communist revolution like Antifa proposes isn't the answer as it will just swap out the 1% group for another group of individuals that will inevitably end up behaving the same as them, but it's obvious that all of the common mans problems stem from the vanity of 1%ers. People must recognize this so it can be worked against in other ways that could actually change things.
Leo Hughes
The first two are just reactions against homophobia (low IQ belief high IQ (i.e., successful) people perceive as meaninglessly cruel) and white privilege belief is prevalent because educational institutions indoctrinate it; white altruism is exploited because our egalitarian culture (also indoctrated by academia) makes people feel ashamed of wealth, combining that and white's natural outsized empathy gives them a false sense of noblesse oblige (i.e., if we are affluent because we exploited PoC like Prof Sholmo taught us, then we should help them up). It's all a 21st Century White Man's burden and it's all caused by Marxism in academia; don't kid yourself, if every academic institution in America taught HBD and Austrian economics, virtually no one would believe in white privilege or socialism.

Maybe, but probably not totally offbase. Have a friend from highschool who cheers open border policies while living in a gated community far far away from the consequences of them. The disconnect between belief and impact, and the status it confers among his peer group are both part of the problem.

Not sure who this author is, but he makes some good points. Fucktarded concepts like white privilege and the gender pay gap are just lefties way of signaling, “Look at me, I was (((educated))) in a (((university))) and hold all of the (((correct beliefs))).”
Lincoln Collins
The writer does make a lot of good logical points but I think he lacks the world view of his points going the lazy "Durrr Rich White People" which is the classic progressive copout so these faggots can kvetch somewhat addressing real problems while keeping their jobs.
Jacob Clark
Logical consequence of American egalitarianism, instead of just allowing high-status people to hold high status, we have to pretend that we're all equal which leads to the adoption of stupid beliefs so that status can be gained by showing others how much you care about the marginalized (except not really).
David Walker

White is a silly concept. Jews often have whitish skin, but they do not ethnically identify with other Europeans. They see themselves as distinct.

It's really apparent how surface level and just phony these beliefs are. Disney wanted a brown girl to play jasmine, couldn't be arsed to find an Arab, could barely be arsed to find someone brown at all they just stuck some pajeet quadroon in there and gave her a spray tan. And I think that's what pisses me off the most, that they don't actually care, but if someone speaks against them or their pets they will try to ruin your life. As if they do care, which they don't. It's infuriating.
Also, the article us wrong in that even lower and middle class whites hold these same """luxury""" beliefs (what a stupid fucking concept), because they are piped into their brains 24/7 by jewish media.

You guys know, all of this is explained with much more economy and comprehensiveness by people like Mencius Moldbug and Chris B. You don't even have to resort to any sort of conspiracies or evil ethnicities as explanatory devices. It is simple power dynamics in a society in which power is not explicitly owned by formal centers but rather is diffused among many competing interests. You niggers will always stay lost in the labyrinth of your own essentially liberal analysis. WASPs were doing this degenerative Progressive shtick well before the kikes jumped on board.

Alexander Wilson
>This whole shit began not with Trump or Gamergate but with Occupy Wallstreet.
No this shit started in the 1920s.
The Athiest Jews were The architects of Communism in the 1920s. A group at the Frankfurt School developed Critical Theory to convert the West to Communism.
The Frankfurt School plan was to undermine the Christian legacy. They called for the most negative destructive criticism possible of every sphere of life to de-stabilize society and destroy what they saw as the 'oppressive' order.They hoped their policies would spread like a virus--'continuing the work of the Western Marxists. The School recommended:
1 The creation of racism offences 2 Continual change to create confusion 3 The teaching of sex and homosexuality to children 4 The undermining of schools' and teachers' authority 5 Huge immigration to destroy identity 6 The promotion of excessive drinking 7 Emptying of churches 8 An unreliable legal system with bias against victims of crime 9 Creating dependency on the state or state benefits 10 Control and dumbing down of media 11 Encouraging the breakdown of the family
One of the main ideas of the Frankfurt School was to exploit Freud's idea of 'pansexualism' - the search for pleasure, the exploitation of the differences between the sexes, the overthrowing of traditional relationships between men and women. To further their aims they would:
• attack the authority of the father, deny the specific roles of father and mother, and wrest away from families their rights as primary educators of their children. • abolish differences in the education of boys and girls • abolish all forms of male dominance • declare women to be an 'oppressed class' and men oppressors
Following Hitler's rise to power in 1933, the Institute left Germany for Geneva, before moving to New York City in 1935, where it became affiliated with Columbia University.
Or even better, you can understand basic biology. Strong animals with lots of resources compete for mates by acting in harmful ways and throwing away resources, because this shows to potential mates that they have the luxury to do such things. This is the definition of luxury; wastefulness. Rich people can afford to waste money that the poor people need to use effectively, and this waste in and of itself is a signal of status.
Such is the idea of harmful belief systems. Only people that have resources to spare are willing to give them away.

Tim Poo! My favorite mixed race anti racist! I watch him on YouTube! Did I mention he’s buying a new anti racist van!
>this is well-captured, I think, in Salam’s phrase: “the supposed nobility that flows from racial self-flagellation.” In other words, the process of self-flagellation confers nobility on cosmopolitan whites, thus elevating them morally over other whites who become distinguishable as a lesser class. quillette.com/2018/08/17/a-closer-look-at-anti-white-rhetoric/
>anti-white rhetoric functions as a way for upper-class and upwardly mobile whites and select people of colour to distinguish themselves from less cosmopolitan whites, who also tend to be lower-income. Furthermore, many progressive environments encourage it, especially universities, and it conveniently helps obscure or rationalise their elitism—in part by shifting the focus away from class and in part by painting lower-income whites as immoral and thus unworthy.
>Perhaps what critics of anti-white rhetoric find most distasteful is this: that it often comes from members of the academic and cultural elite, implicitly directed towards lower-income whites for the crime of not being sufficiently cosmopolitan, in a world that’s changing rapidly and where it’s a struggle just to find something to anchor oneself to.
But I think all these articles (and the one in the OP) shy away from tackling one elephant in the room: the role of Jewish identity in all this, and specifically the "Fellow White People" phenomenon. Pic-related.
SILLY GOYIM, THESE RICH JEWS TRYING TO UNDERMINE YOUR INSTITUTIONS AREN'T A "JEW CONSPIRACY", IT'S JUST NORMAL HUMAN BEHAVIOR, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH SILLY GOYIM LOLOLOLOLOL AHAHAHAHAH JUST A COINCIDENCE IT'S ALL A FUCKING COINCIDENCE GOYIM LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
David Bell
Yes it is noticeable that all these articles about "rich Whites looking down on poor Whites for being insufficiently cosmopolitan" completely avoid mentioning Jews - who any fearless investigator of the anti-White phenomenon would discover often play a 'leading role' in pushing cosmopolitan politics, are often massively over-represented among those spewing anti-White rhetoric, and who have historic reasons to both fear whites and hold a grudge against them. The (((Fellow White People))) meme is probably at least partly Jews self-flagellating and virtue-signalling because they are "White-Passing" in America/Europe, and partly an out-group attack on non-Jewish whites.
Still, it's a start. The pendulum is shifting towards a more complete awareness of where all this is coming from.
Here is the exact moment the CIA infiltrated Occupy to inject it with identity politics and ruin the discourse of class conscious protest for future decades.
>sorry anons, it isnt a grand jewish conspiracy. (((Who))) taught them those things in college also >Implying a large portion of the people who hol these beliefs arnt rich antiwhite jews themselves K rabbi

Although OP is 100% correct, it can't be ignored that 90% of Reform Jews hold these views.
30% of the 1% is Jewish.
