    That’s an interesting video, and I don’t think it defines exactly what I was trying to say, but it absolutely is tangential to it.

    I want to say White Paternalism, where white people think they know what is best for minority groups, but that name often has an association with racism.

    Edit: found it: “white saviorism”

      Ah, saviorism. Yeah that’s definitely what you’re describing.

      I guess what the video is describing is yeah tangential and/or like a superset. Groups high on the power structure use those who’re lower as proxies for their vying for power/resources/etc.

        Yes, the video definitely suggests groups can be used as pawns and virtue signaling for those trying to “help” or use the appearance of it to further an agenda.
