Watch this for 4 minutes if you have the time. It's a very poignant psychological explanation of Naziism/Communism I've never heard before and it's quite a stunner to hear.
God Bless

The audio is often poor on this.
good post.
"Anything that is grievance based (meaning a movement), leads to violence and death."
That is sort of truism that means nothing. There are real grievances, such as the 2020 election being stolen, which require being corrected. I would these events require what ever means necessary to remediate the grievance.
Ominous indeed. For those who haven’t watched the video, the interviewee makes the point that both Nazism and Communism started as victimhood movements, and here we are in Me Too and BLM, etc. He also states that such movements have a tendency towards violence.
He lost me on gender roles. There’s a huge biological component there, it is not just about society setting expectations.
Objecting to the 2020 election cheating isn’t a movement such as BLM and Antifa. He even stated that Naziism and Communism were movements based on grievance.
I disagree. I’m glad we can do that on FR. :-)
Thank you. Very interesting. Accurate. If a person lacks love and empathy, then he will become selfish, aggressive complainers. Some call is diabolical narcissism where a person is stuck in blaming and absent of empathy. The need for covid masks brought out people like this everywhere. “Wear a mask!!!” says the taco person, dental receptionist, school counselor, and supermarket shopper. Mask pushers have no empathy for people with asthma.
He is talking about what trauma psychologists call the victim-perpetrator dichotomy. In the traumatic event the persons involved identify with the roles of both the victim and the perpetrator and begin to organize their interior reality based on that fusion. That is why identification with the victim can lead to aggression— The victim posture is essentially an angry one and can trigger re-enactment of the perpetrator, or aggressor role. Recovery comes in enabling the person to eschew both roles as a false dichotomy and resume relating based on love and attachment. To a large extent, narcissism is a different issue, appearing because it also is a platform for aggression but lacks the qualities of the victim posture.
The man who was the chair of the Republican National Committee in the 1990’s called MAGA people lice the other day. Lice are to be exterminated. Max Buttt writing he was told is straight up saying ‘elections are dangerous’ and implies they should be ended. The woke mean to kill or imprison MAGA people. The response to that mentality is to be ready to kill them as well. People here hate politics, hate organized operations, hate doing all the things that show strength and numbers. They still believe if they just say the right words they will win. They still believe if they win elections they will be allowed to actually win. This is just middle class delusions. If we want to just live we are going to have to fight and I don’r mean that in a symbolic sense.
