RE: https://loops.video/v/fEtbtYpD6e
Some people want to believe the far right is about hate. But I have maintained this not the case for a long time: The hate is only a tool, not the core.
Hate functions as an enabler of an ultra-strong group #identity. It is the wedge that pushes people into one unified hierarchy of violence under one leader.
The unity is the point, hate only carries the water.

The Journey of a Glass Child: Embracing Uniqueness
