Date: 2024-10-13 07:43 pm (UTC)A battle about what is irrelevant, I think, and might not even be related to the social issue (trans, orientation, skin color, religion, etc.). To avoid thinking about whatever self-disturbing problem is plaguing their mind, they externalize their "threat" anxiety to whatever seems plausible. Right-wing systems are always ready to provide other groups as threats to help solidify their own powers, so it's a convenient ready-made self-serving solution. If I knew how to find someone's internal self-preservation battle topic, then I'd challenge them with it directly, to test if they could solve it then the anti-other behavior would also magically cease as no longer necessary.
Just a theory. Zero evidence. :(
