Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

A subset of Internal Colonialism Theory that explains the dual nature of the US is called Differential Segregation, an adapted internalized version of the same strategy used in colonial and neocolonial client states overseas
The deliberate creation of comprador classes within every US demographic, income and zip code based for minority groups and the country club/urban-rural divide among white Americans
Differential Segregation is the de facto social organizing principle of US society, it's obvious in a kind of "You see it only when you notice it" way
Found this article but most everything that Google is giving me is from paywalled academic journals - if you have any other recommended reading please let me know.

Edit - Particularly interested in more recent work. The Robert Allen study on internal neocolonialism they cite is from 1969 and the Lawrence Friedman book that discusses "differential segregation" is from 1970, and I'm curious to see this applied to post-2008 developments as well.
