Fedrick_deBoer is a talented writer with an eye for detail on all things that are wrong about the United States (US) albeit some things that have been overlooked by the usual scholars who want to cast their sight on the US.
Although Frederick _deBoer is a self proclaimed Marxist, he doesn’t go out of the way to caricature others as less worthy than him.
What Frederick_deBoer is saying is that the US has sunk quite deep in its own morass.
One of the most powerful movements to ever emerge in the US, such as “Black Lives Matter,” not excluding #Metoo, have not resulted in any improved legislations at all.
Not only are these the summary of the missed opportunities of the US but a double indicment of how much the US cannot come up with more progressive legislative outcomes.
Elsewhere, Frederick _deBoer affirmed that Americans tend to misunderstand the size of the non-profit social movement.
In terms of money spent, as a percentage of the US Gross Domestic Product (GDP), it is even larger then the money invested in the K-12 Education system.
So what does Frederick _de Boer mean by “how the elites ate the social justice” ? To be sure, this has nothing to do with how the American Ivies, invariably, the Ivy Leaguers have ignored their social responsibility to the poor and disenfranchised.
If anything at all, it is the left that have also confused movement alone as the embodiment of the change with which the US is about to go through. Only that it hasn’t.
With each passing day, the left leaning movement will continue to wait for the churn. Not so much to take up the pitch forks against Trump and his followers.
Rather to continue to lobby various benefactors for all kinds of socially progressive causes. However, the left, even the liberals in the US, are hampered by one problem: both of them can’t seem to unite—-not unless the fate of democracy is at risk.
More often than not, it is triggered by the sensationalism of some events, that have gone viral, perhaps not once but time and again.
Such as the death of George Lyold, which was marked by all the abject circumstances of being pinned to the floor, with the knee of some officers in Minnesota, leading to the victim’s asphyxiation beamed life to the nation and the world.
Only when the dramatic has jarred the sense and sensibility of all do the left and liberal movement stood in life.
