white people need to give the metaphorical guns and ammunition to their bipoc comrades to help overthrow whiteness itself, since they have an inside understanding of how whiteness works we need to utilize the material support of white people. They basically have to give everything and get nothing in return, i think something that scares a lot of white people is that there will be a significant decline in their standard of living in the process of uplifting others. We need to abolish the suburbs, cars, the western style of agriculture, and the overproduction of treats, ect. They have a reason to be scared since white people are only prosperous because they stole the wealth of others.
The thing is, the avarice is not working. We have the supposed easy life and it fucking sucks because it's still late stage capitalism. If abandoning luxury goods means that the people around me are far less miserable, that's not really "getting nothing in return", is it? Having less people suffering around me means that my day is better too.
You ever watch the Atlanta episode on reparations? Its literally has to be like that. There needs to be some kind of tax on white people that directly goes to black people. Such a thing would cause a lot of discontent among whites, we need to push hard enough to get shit done but not too hard that whites don't cooperate, this isn't south africa we don't outnumber them yet.
Even a meaningful tax on billionaires would get us 75% of the way there… if only because most of them are various flavors of Anglo Saxon
