Supplementary: "Yet the most important thing extremists on either side of the political spectrum have in common is a sense of deep self-pity. In their minds, they are always being 'marginalized,' or dominated or threatened by a seemingly omnipotent establishment. In the U.S., inevitably, race plays a large role in such feelings, though for opposite reasons on the left and right. Left-wing activists are obsessed, not entirely without cause, with 'white supremacy.' On the right, [Tucker] Carlson asks with a straight face: 'Is [Putin] teaching my children to embrace racial discrimination?'
Both [Vladimir] Putin and [Donald] Trump like to portray themselves as victims -- or, at least, as leaders who speak for the victims of liberal elites, arrogant internationalists, critical race theorists or people who fail to respect Russian or American 'greatness.' It is this idea of victimhood that people, especially on the far right, identify with. Remember the degree to which Nazi propaganda was soaked in grievance: the treatment of Germany by the allied nations after World War I, the dominance of Jews who supposedly pulled all the strings of power. The first official heroes of the Nazi movement were 'martyrs' who had died in street brawls with leftists.
Real victims exist, of course. But when powerful men exploit a fear of impotence to stoke popular anger, it becomes a dangerous force, for it is always bent on vengeance. When there is vengeance, there will always be blood." https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/why-putin-unites-extremists-on-left-and-right/2022/04/02/ffde9248-b25a-11ec-9dbd-0d4609d44c1c_story.html #TheoryMarginalisation #PoliticsStatusQuoTheEstablishment #SlurWhiteSupremacy #OtheringDiscriminationRacism #OrgClassifPPRUSUnitedRussiaVladimirPutin #OrgClassifPPUSRepublicanPartyGOPPOTUSDonaldTrump #NMUSFOXFNCTuckerCarlson #OtheringElitesLiberalCulturalEducated #TheoryPoliticsOfFearAnxietyOfVictimisation #PoliticsFascismNaziPropaganda #NarrativeWarWWI #IdentityJewish #OtheringHateAntisemitismCaricaturePuppetMaster #MetaphorMartyr #TauntLeftist #TheoryCulturalImperialismWesternHedonism

Supplementary:
"An essential feature of the rise of Trumpism has been the brazen inversion, that trusty maneuver in which you wield your critics' own values against them -- say, borrowing the language of social justice to argue that the "oppressor" is actually oppressed or suddenly embracing progressive social causes in the service of criticizing Islam. It's a blunt but effective rhetorical confiscation, in which a battle-ready right relishes its ability to seize, inhabit and neutralize the arguments and vocabularies of its opponents, reveling in their continued inability to formulate any sort of answer to the trusty old 'I know you are, but what am I?'
There's something similar in the right's gradual appropriation of the word 'alternative' -- an appropriation that, for lack of a stronger claim by disappearing alt-weeklies or leftist publishers, seems to be working. 'They just want me to be the devil because I'm the alternative media,' said the Trump-approved conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, after his recent interview with NBC News's Megyn Kelly. That description might seem incongruous, but it's increasingly standard on the right to characterize sites like Jones's Infowars, The Gateway Pundit and even Breitbart as 'alternative.' Plenty of others have followed suit: Media Matters for America, the left-leaning watchdog group, uses 'alternative' to describe the same constellation of right-wing publishers and pundits that has been referred to as the 'pro-Trump media,' or in the formulation of the BuzzFeed News reporter Charlie Warzel, the 'upside down' -- a reference to the nightmarish parallel dimension of Netflix's camp horror series 'Stranger Things.'" https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/27/magazine/why-the-far-right-wants-to-be-the-new-alternative-culture.html And #IRLPhilosopherSlavojZizek #OrgUKTheOxfordUnionSociety
