  1. The white public's indifference to the well-being of people of colour ensures that any response to racist violence is minimized.
  2. The media's white-centric perspective on domestic and foreign events and vilification of people of colour reinforces the first layer.
  3. The trolls flip back and forth between jokes and seriousness, which provides plausible deniability.
  4. The appeal of jokes by 3 can appeal widely to include a multiracial audience, thereby protecting the previous layers from accusations of racism.
  5. Alt-media uses cover from 3 and 4 to shift from joking to serious.
  6. Politicians legitimize extremist views from 5 and give them the force of law and policy.
  7. Tokens are leveraged by 6 to delegitimize claims of oppression.
  8. The hipster nazis present themselves as clean-shaven, well-educated, and reasonable rationalists to exploit faults in the Left's confrontation style.
  9. White supremacist representation in law enforcement protects the interests of politicians while brutalizing freely.
  10. Organized white nationalists use 8 to speak loudly and recruit disaffected youth to the cause.
  11. Lone wolves feed on information from other layers, ready to enact ideological violence, but remain unconnected to anyone and are disavowed by others.
