racism is not an indelible facet of the proletariat but at the same time i dont think its like people are being fooled into being racist and, upon being fed the proper nam-shub, will slap their foreheads and go "jeepers, ive been such a doofus this whole time!"

not to mention, a lot of white working class communities in the US were racist as gently caress even when they had jobs and stability and upward mobility

if working class communities are less racist now, it's because the working class is much more diverse today than it was in the 50s or whatnot

It also doesn't help that we're talking about the most I'll educated section of society as well. Factor in that the closest correlate with voting in the referendum was degree having or not

ASK ME ABOUT LUMBER

if racism was some kind of constant factor in people's voting patterns, one would presumably see relatively constant tendencies in voting for racist parties and constant levels of rejection of e.g. immigration and such, which is simply not the case

in germany, for historical, economic and social reasons, there was no viable right-wing populist party until the economy completely exploded, which one would expect if the thesis "a certain percentage of the majority population (conveniently mostly the working class) are racists and will vote based on that racism at any given time" were correct

this has little to do with condescending moralisin and much more to do with giving people some kind of constructive agency and dignity in their lives. a major problem, of course, is that if one empowers the white working class as-is they'll enact a ton of disgusting poo poo and so a certain kind of elitism is necessary, which will inevitably breed even more resentment...

the historical way out of that was having the working class generate its own leading elites, but contemporary ideology and the death of the mass working class in the west has rendered that pretty much impossible so lol we're screwed

tbh hold up, there's a big difference between racism and racism as a factor in people's voting patterns

you can only really combat racism by inoculating the young and hoping the next generation is less racist

you can combat racism playing into people's voting patterns much more easily, as germany and indeed britain had been successfully doing by disenfranchising them through marginalizing the people that speak to that

its not like people suddenly started spouting screeds about the immigrants and the romani recently, they just weren't allowed to vote for it

because the global financial crisis demonstrated that globalization hadn't done a drat thing to protect anybody against the inevitable disasters of the business cycle

in the developing world that meant food crises and revolutions

in the west we get global trumpism, a reversion to populist demagoguery and fascism because that is the only alternative perspective allowed as part of the acceptable dialogue
