Indeed, but since Western media is ignoring it, we should all be exposing and talking more about Kahanism. That’s probably the most accurate term we can use for the Israel-rooted supremacist viewpoint that so directly resembles nazism. It’s a term genocide apologists and enablers can’t so easily ignore or flip back or play down as they can with “nazi.” There is obviously a longer history to it all, but people of conscience around the world should specifically know who Meir Kahane was and how-- despite being labelled as a terrorist even in Israel and the US-- his extremist legacy (this was a guy who literally taught people Hitler was right except that Jewish people were supposed to be seen as “masculine” and superior) lived on in the current sadistic attitudes and genocidal policies of the IDF, Knesset, and most of Israel’s citizenry.

The only way this wouldn’t be supremely disappointing would be if they were keeping all staff and only introducing this for lower-importance sequences to reduce the famously insane workload. But yeah, I know I’m only kidding myself to even entertain that idea.

The two matters aren’t mutually exclusive and ultimately their motives don’t matter as much as the effect. Getting riled up and indignant about some people’s racism is useless and even counterproductive-- especially compared to focusing on the source.

Racism being systemic means there are barriers to overcome at every income level. Everyone has already bought into it at varying levels, so you can’t just go “See, look, they’re racist!” Outside of a few like-minded people, the typical response would range from shoulder shrugs to annoyance at best. Many will even perceive the accuser as acting superior.

If we’re talking about racism on a systemic level, exposing that there IS someone who benefits is necessary to get people invested in societal healing. Most people are constantly tired and from their perspective, don’t have the energy to care about what they perceive as other people’s problems. Make it their problem too, and maybe something will change.

Campaigns and general influence by wealthy people who want poorer folks attacking their fellow poor folks and not them. Same as racism in general.

I had to actively seek sources out for my own sanity. The people compiling it don’t cover every area I’d like, but there’s good news happening too. Two sources I know of are Sam Bentley and Good News.

Yikes, proper waste handling could use more attention in the news, despite the seemingly endless flow of other problems. (Lots of good news too, but that gets even less attention.)
