The fall of the alt right is one of the left's greatest victories, what can we learn from it ? (politicalresearch.org)

So the fall of the alt right is more important then it seems, it was the defeat of organized White identity politic that we have not seen before or sense. Yes the right wing has re surged under Trump with new found patronage from powerful people but organized Whiteness has been thoroughly defeated. The new wave of the right is very racially agnostic with many of its big names being POC. If you watch Jreg he coined this "multi racial fascism"

how has the position of white people gotten better since 2017

Here's the thing, it hasn't. Because that's not how this works. Racist laws don't help white people that are still stealt from, they just harm the minorities more. They look like they improve the standing of whites, but that's merely because they've degrading others rights at a faster rate than whites'.

I am sorry what ? This is so wrong it's insulting to victims of racism, let's say that Black people are not allowed to own houses, that would make houses cheaper for White people as there is less competition for buyers, let's say that Black people aren't allowed to be idk sys admins, that means whie sys admisn have less competition and can demand higher wages.

It would, sadly landlords don't like to make houses cheap.
