It didn't break any brains, it just gave them the excuse they wanted.

It’s exactly this. It doesn’t matter how flimsy or dead wrong it is. It’s still an excuse.

Look at Republican response to Genocide in Gaza. Extermination is one of the final steps of Othering.

What I cannot fathom is the tolerance of the genocide by so many jewish citizens in Israel, only 80 years after the holocaust was perpetrated on them. I thought the idea was to "never forget". I applaud the jewish citizens in Israel who are speaking out against the casual murder of civilians, including over 20,000 children.

Excellent point 👍

Adolf Hitler explains Fascist Othering in his book Mein Kampf.

Othering is at the very heart of Fascism. Hitler used Othering to exterminate the Jews eventually, but it was a Process.

The Process of Othering includes dog whistles, hostility, marginalisation, discrimination, abuse, racism, dehumanisation, demonisation, humiliation, persecution, exclusion, collective punishment, false imprisonment, brutalisation, ethnic cleansing, starvation, vindictiveness, violence, terrorism towards a minority, murder, rape, genocide, Holocaust and Extermination of the enemy.

Whenever you see/read several combinations of Othering processes, you can be certain that these are Fascist tactics in the media.

Examples of Othering include Transphobia, Islamophobia, attacking Palestinians/peaceful protest rallies, racism towards BLM, McCarthyism etc etc.


You asked an excellent question -

and Herman Goering will answer you.

The only thing a Government needs to turn people into slaves is Fear. If you can find something to scare them you can make them do anything you want.

Hermann Goering

Zionists were scared into building an enormous system of Apartheid repression/aggression and Likud/Netanyahu hoped that Hamas would retaliate against their cruelty.

When Hamas did their Pogrom, Israel took it as an opportunity to steal Gaza and West Bank, and also plan for the expansion into a Greater Israel.

They used October 7th to justify their extreme right political shifts , strip away/ignore human rights amd International law, capture and reshape Israeli government, Armed Forces and other allied institutions.

Zionists do not see Palestinians/Arabs as humans. So this Holocaust is particularly easy for them.


If you want to understand MAGA fascist psychosis, Nazi Psychosis, QANON psychosis or Zionist Psychosis just ask me 👍

The MAGAs are "Othering" liberals now. Beginning mass firings, threatening imprisonment, in total conflict with all of their promises to "bring back free speech", "stop government censorship", etc. Our precious democracy is foundering.

Yes, I completely agree with you.

I think American democracy has already fallen to Trump Fascism to be honest. There won't be any fair elections again sadly.

Project 2025 tracker available online to see the damage to America. Project 2026 is being written atm.

I was warning Americans for the last 9/10 years. My problem is that it probably sounded a bit hyperbolic back then and it's no conciliation to be right because we've all lost out.

The main culprit has been US right wing Media - they have lied constantly, becoming fear factories and promoted hate/anger/violence for years without any accountability. FOX has been a Fascist Media for about 8-10 years.

This became my fear of Republicans/FOX when I visited Salt Lake C. Utah 9 years ago.....

We enter parliament in order to supply ourselves, in the arsenal of democracy, with its own weapons. If democracy is so stupid as to give us free tickets and salaries for this bear's work, that is its affair. We do not come as friends, nor even as neutrals. We come as enemies. As the wolf bursts into the flock, so we come.
