Politics as Usual 3

At the same time, the high tech corporations like Apple and others are also playing a double game. They try to portray themselves as patriotic and loyal corporations of the United States, and yet, they store a good chunk of their money in offshore accounts in or near Europe. Multinational corporations are also eroding the idea of the nation-state. The logic of all these corporations is that there is really no such thing as "race;" therefore, there is no such thing as a nation-state or if there is a nation state, it is now considered to be a very diverse body. Evolutionarily and anthropologically, we are evolving into a raceless world.
On the cherry top of that, there is no way the manufacteuring of high tech products is going to come to the US. China owns a large share of the resources that come into making these products. For the US to import these resources would be absurd.
But as the rise of Donald Trump clearly shows, there is a primary division between whites and others... not only that, Donald Trump symbolizes white America.
Even among very liberal whites, there is a primary division between whites and others. Whites are seen as distinct, more autochonous, more real, and more still more distinct. But in a curious way, with the deconditioning of whites and the demythogization of whites, whites have played themselves out of the cultural field. Whites have chosen moderation which has made them seem style-less and tepid. Or whites have followed the cultural trends of ethnic minorities in their search for authenticity which have made them culturally slow or lagging. Whites, whether they know it or not, no longer know how to "whiten" ethnic trends to take advantage of them the way they used to.
Donald Trump, for all his shortcomings, has style (the style of radical simplification), charisma, and toughness. Hilary Clinton, on the other hand, following the culturally deconditioning of Krishnamurti, really feels a like a staid, dull liberal. The only time that she exhibits some flair is when she violates the law (personal emails) or when she takes credit for something she does not deserve credit for.
