1. Impoverished communities are disproportionately non-white, so I'm assuming you're advocating for increased spending that is just targeting white communities, correct?
No I’m advocating for increased investments in all improvised communities economically, and educationally. The overarching theme is to eradicating the poor from self-fulfilling negative stereotypes which helps fuel racism.
Investments in education would be centered around science, history, logic, philosophy, psychology, conflict resolution, social skills, and mental health.
2. Technocracy brought us to this point by funnelling the social and economic gains towards specific, small enclaves, so why would a "return" (we're still in a technocracy) bring about different outcomes?
A better educated populace would solve this problem. The wrong technocrats have been in power, additionally, experts can be wrong but the key aspect of experts running the country there would be quicker course correction.
3. What regulations and crackdowns of the news and social media apparatus are you suggesting, and how do you avoid it turning into Soviet-style disavowal of lived reality when your mandate is simply boosting whatever Democrats say?
Zero tolerance for platforming hate groups and proliferation of racism. Heavy pressure towards online social media companies to police viral hate speech
That's fine if you believe qualified, educated liberals should be making the decisions in our society, but you either believe in democracy or you don't. And it's fine to say you don't and would rather an authoritarian elite class of liberals making decisions unaccountable to the public, but you're probably going to have to drop all the talk about the far-right MAGA threat to Democracy and the whole vision of public power that the listless corpse of the Democratic Party is still coasting on.
I believe in democracy but I believe our education system has failed us which is why Trump was able to pull off the GOAT con job.
Investments in education can solve that problem in the future
It's like saying "My crush SHOULD like me instead of her boyfriend"...yeah well she doesn't. You can either improve your fitness and personality to become more attractive or you can kidnap her. You seem to be suggesting the latter.
Woah, multi-generational? So we're going to suffer through...decades of increasingly right-wing fascism so the Liberals can seed the hicks with technocratic lectures about how the capital flight produced by globalization that has destroyed their economic and social fabric is actually a good thing because the tech firms and wall street financiers don't say the n-word (in public) as they drain the coffers of public prosperity? And then one day, a few generations later, by listening to enough lectures by 78 year old Liberal millionaire politicians, these children of deprivation will become sufficiently anti-racist to vote for the Democrats? And all of this to avoid pushing for universal healthcare/childcare or economics that reign in the private interests to re-fund the public? That's the theory of the future?
Making a giant leap of steel manning my position here. I don’t think neo-liberalism is the best economic strategy going forward.
The problem with our society is that we have too many idiots getting conned by politicians who don’t represent them (Republican Party).
The Republicans as currently constructed could not exist in a society with a well educated populace which cannot be forgotten.
I think that’s the flaw in your political worldview, you generally exclude the Republicans in analysis and attribute them as some force of nature that we’ll always have to contend with so they should be ignored. I think that’s the root of the problem. The Republicans as currently constructed are why our society is regressing.
Rather stifling social, economic, philosophical or environmental progress, the republicans are the roadblock to any type of sustainable progress.
In this hypothetical racism would not be enough of a motivating factor to
support an entire political party. The downstream effect of that is you would have two legitimate political parties actually competing for everyone’s votes. That in itself would solve a lot of the criticisms you have for technocracy.
