not necessarily, no. I'm just saying vastly underestimate how much vitriol some sects of people (namely conservatives) have toward certain social issues or other ideas. Like for example, Steve Bannon got his podcast banned (not twitter, but same idea) for saying something along the lines of if this country wasn't a banana republic, Fauci would be murdered for being a public enemy. People may look at stuff like this and be like "that's just hyperbole" - it's not, a lot of people really believe this stuff. The same could be said about anything - you think the current comments about gays/transgenders/etc on twitter are vile? I guarantee you only 25% of these people aren't holding back. Same with numerous other issues.

My mind has changed slightly about this certain point

I believe the larger concept of white supremacy is not tied down to capitalism, it existed long before, due to isolation

However the modern version we know was adapted to capitalism

this might blow up in his face when it comes to advertisers I’m not sure an advertiser is going to want to promote their product next to some Q-anon quack’s tweets

Yea, except, saying the average America is any of those things is based on nothing, and it's not true statistically. Your original statement was about Americans and critical thinking. Finland is widely regarded as having the best education system in the world, yet most of their Black citizens have been racially harassed. If you wanna talk about iq, which Japan usually ranks highest, do you think racism and xenophobia don't exist in Japan heavily? If we aren't talking about those things, how are you measuring ability to think critically? Because eye-balling and just your limited experience isn't gonna cut it.
