The revisionism comes from a class separation in anglo and anglicized whites, a separation so profound that it mimics an ethnic divide. (I have a theory that its a relic of the Norman conquest, but that's for another post) In a nutshell, managerial class whites have status, lots of it. But they have no real fixed identity. So they build an identity around their status. Any threat to this status is therefore a threat to their identity.
In the Anglo world, upscale whites show status by disdaining their own history and ethnic identities.
The formula is simple. Upscale anglo whites have status but no real community or identity. Downscale whites have more identity and community but no status. So the upscale white loses nothing by demolishing history. For the white proles, once you take away their communities and identity, they have nothing.
Hmm, I agree. I think the whole situation has been massively accelerated by globalism as; back in the 40's, 50's, 60's you could hate your own culture, but like it or hate it you were stuck with it; you couldn't ethnically replace the nation, you couldn't shame the people below you into hating themselves, and people were far too connected to take the sort of 'fuck English gammon!' mindset that's so open and on display now.
But once you can just import a new culture to replace the current one the issues go away, once broken homes become the norm the family isn't a fortress, and the community doesn't really exist anymore.
That would explain why a lot of the "white guilt" stuff is pushed by well off white academics who do corporate seminars. People who have both degrees and respect merely due to being university educated and being interviewed on the Guardian.
Its a sort of class hatred. The more woke and disdainful of european/white history/culture you are the more you gain status and prestige in these circles.
They have no identity of their own, and more likely come from deracinated middle class backgrounds to start with-so its not hard for them to see the history of white people as something separate, alien, wrong. Something they have no ties too or reason to uphold, but in fact can gain a lot through attacking.
Yeah, one of the things I noticed about the anglo left, specifically the 'lefty luvie' type liberals such as Owen Jones (S) is the bizarre (to me) statement of 'What even is British culture!' As if he's never actually lived in British culture. Now he may have as a child, but once he went to university he became rootless almost immediately. I'm at uni currently, but I've gone into it about five years after most people would start simply because I didn't want to go. (I changed my mind and have started a biology degree) My 'identity' as an Englishman, part Irish and part Welsh; but mainly English and British at a push is firmly part of my life, it's how I think, and shop, and talk. I cannot understand how you could not know what you were by simple instinct.
People like Jones and his type spend their formative years in an education system that teaches very little of what it is being British, typically their family isn't going to be taking them out to do typically British things, and when they get to university they are rendered almost entirely rootless by the class divide encouraging them to be these internationalist workers ready to ship out practically anywhere. To take a /pol/ meme; English universities literally produce Beady Eyed Eternal Anglo's. I spend my formative years in education yes, but at a fairly 'laddish' catholic school, and then I was straight into a multiethnic workplace. Factory, then shop, then office environment. Racial cliques were distinct and pretty much universal in those environments except the office; where they still existed, but the white britsh didn't have one. They all sort of intermingled or clumped around who they sat with without belonging anywhere.
I've noticed it in my own lectures and seminars where the foreign lecturers such as the polish and Spanish ones will simply teach; but the middle aged white guy spends half of the time ragging on white male scientists and promoting random ethnic females with very little actually interesting or groundbreaking; and the young gay PHD student who sometimes stands in will end every mention of 'an old white guy' with an eyeroll and a tut. It's a very ingrained and casual dismissal of actual achievements over the politics surrounding them; we spent 45 minutes of a hour and a half lecture on DNA going over the evils of Rosalind Franklin being scammed out of her work.
