,White Supremacy, Masculinity, Patriotism, Social Character, |
George Lundskow |
|
Abstract
Applies the most recent research in social-psychology to decisive historical events that built white supremacy as a cultural force, institutional system, and dominant social character. Simultaneously discusses the progressive counter forces that have and continue to challenge white supremacy, and how this dialectical battle has brought the United States to the social, cultural, and political polarization of the present day. Builds a four-part argument. First, the origins of white supremacy in the United States, and how some (many) people uphold it today. Second, discusses the dark tetrad character type (narcissism, Machiavellianism, psychopathy, and sadism) that finds white supremacy appealing. Third, examines sociohistorical patterns that promoted white supremacy, rewarded people who practiced it, and instilled the dark tetrad character type that finds meaning and comfort in racist (and misogynist, heteronormative) domination. Fourth, discusses the social counterforces that challenge white supremacy and instilled what the author calls the affirmative tetrad—compassion, gratitude, awe, and love.

,Genocidal Conquest and the Rise of Mytho-Pathological Hero Types, |
George Lundskow |
|
Abstract
Examines the history of European Conquest in the parts of North American Native land that eventually becomes the United States. Emphasizes the interrelationship between economic and cultural invasion that establishes white supremacy as a dominant ideology and social character type. Discusses the treacherous politics and genocidal wars that against Native people and the fictitious cultural narratives that arose to justify ethnic and cultural annihilation of Native people, and to glorify domination of rich whites over others, and whites overall others. Links elements of Christianity to white supremacy. Also discusses progressive resistance to white supremacy to establish more egalitarian material relations as well as a progressive social character.

,Women in White Supremacy, |
George Lundskow |
|
Abstract
Traces the gender elements of white supremacy to radical shifts in attitudes towards nature, especially the transition from sustainable farming communities to agriculture purely for profit. Looks at the roles of women in healing, and the particular gender conflicts that arose with the rise of modernity and the battles of the present, especially women’s bodily autonomy, and battles against patriarchal domination in all periods.

,Race and Ethnonational Violence, |
George Lundskow |
|
Abstract
Establishes slavery as the overwhelming force of race relations in the United States, both before and after the Civil War that instilled racial identity into everyday life as the primary social fact of existence. Focusing on the Civil War period and Reconstruction, and then twentieth century labor movement, we see how racism shaped cultural attitudes, economic relations, and reactionary social character. Overall, the chapter argues that white supremacy also legitimated gender and economic domination to such an extent that racism bound white people so thoroughly to a supremacist identity that lower income whites supported policies and attitudes that worked against their own economic interests and quality of life. Also examines how people of all races fought against white supremacy, and how this supported a progressive character.

,Environmentalism, Diverse Gender Rights, and the Future of American Society, |
George Lundskow |
|
Abstract
Examines the American Indian Movement and the Civil Rights Movement as progressive social forces and social character types. Argues that environmental movements and LGBTQIA further expand the moral community, and that progressive forces in general and the progressive social character now predominate in the United states. Reactionary forces, especially white supremacy, still hold considerable political power, and seek to overthrow democracy in order to remain in power. Although population numbers now clearly favor the progressive side, the battle for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness in a democratic society against white supremacy and its various malevolent hierarchies remains unresolved.
