The overclass hates you.
People notice the overclass (brahman, in Moldbug’s terminology) hates whites. So they figure. Well, people who think of themselves as white cannot possibly hate whites, so it must be Jews, who don’t consider themselves white, hating us. Wrong. The overclass hates whites because it is almost entirely white. It hates Jews because it is disproportionately …
