Wouldn’t it be more effective to identify achievements by non-whites as opposed to eradicating achievements by whites. The former elevates everyone while the latter diminishes everyone. At some point, the world has to recognize that non-whites don’t need paternalistic care.

There is an increased push to publicly acknowledge achievements of non-whites. I also dont think the crowd calling for teardowns would be against celebrating the objectively heroic whites that the ruling class spent significant energy to stop society from acknowledging due to the risk of their pro-justice/anti-establishment values being replicated.

Effective at what, political dominance? Eh..ressentiment and tearing down, attacking achievements of the strong and dominant while glorifying the weak and oppressed has actually worked extremely well.

Expressions of this sentiment like multiculturalism, mass migration and political correctness of the form of completely denouncing prior empires and dominant civilization is the status-quo order of the day. I think it is more uncertain how this type of worldview is opposed, not whether it is effective.

I’m still fundamentally an optimist. The worldwide cabal of elites is going to be rudely awakened at some point. Just have to be patient.

If that was their goal, then yes, but given that it isn't, they do this instead.
