Unpacking the New Era of Repression Pt. 2

By Black Men Build May 23, 2025

In the second installment of our three-part series, we go deeper examining how capitalism, white supremacy, and patriarchy function as interlocking systems that fuel repression and uphold the current power structure. This conversation traces the historical roots and modern expressions of white nationalist politics and how they are weaponized to divide, exploit, and suppress.

Through the lens of race, gender, and class, we unpack the strategic use of culture wars, economic precarity, and state-sanctioned violence to maintain control and stifle transformative movements. We’ll explore how these forces operate globally and locally and how we can fight back.
