Ultimately, its about destruction of the United States. Progressives have always hated everything about western society and American values. They hate the Constitution, they hate the Bill of Rights, they hate the Founders....
Their goal is to completely destroy it all and replace it with their so-called utopia (socialism/communism).
It just so happens, that targeting white people and "whiteness" is easier than attacking America directly. Its much more effective for them, and its working. That's why we are seeing so much SJWer and identity politics stuff lately, which all targets white people and "whiteness" as the enemy.
For example, remember when they released that list of things that show "white supremacy" and "whiteness" and it included things such as hard work ethics, showing up on time, the nuclear family, rugged individualism, objective and rational thinking, and being polite?
All of those things are American values and culture, and its why America has been so successful.
Yet they say those are all bad and racist. The goal to blame "whiteness" is to cause division and completely tear down American culture to replace it with their form of Marxism.
Behind the progressive machine is who?...Who funds this stuff, and why do people allow it to take root?....
Some very powerful people....the banking families, Soros, etc. I also suspect China is behind it, considering so many of our politicians are getting money from China including Biden, Pelosi, and McConnell. China has a 100 year goal for world domination, which they will achieve by 2049. They vowed destruction of the United States, but it looks like they are going to be able to do it via proxy through our own corrupt politicians who only care about their personal enrichment and greed. They won't even have to fire a shot.
