Hi! I'm further left than most progressives.

Our society is not homogenous enough to make a statement like "white supremacist society" substantial. However, there are three closely-related truths which are pretty obvious about our society:

* Our society is, itself, a fascist, classist, militaristic society.

* Pockets of people and parochial cultures in some specific regions are white supremacists.

This isn't definitional or axiomatic, but if you don't perceive these things as true in your day-to-day experience of our country, then you're not likely to feel that they're true. And that's fine! We don't have to agree. But it's useful to point out how and where we don't agree.
