"In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore."

They crossed the Rubicon back when they started snatching immigrants AND citizens to deport to prisons in foreign countries.

Oh, he definitely needs a psychiatrist

the children of socialists

thinks of himself as progressive but hates 'woke' people

likes Hillary hates Bernie

what he wants from the Democrats is basically Republican policy

though I guess some Democrats want that. ones sold out to big money donors (most of them) or like Ezra Klein that think the way to win the country is give up on supporting abortion in red states. signaling to women their bodily autonomy is a debate and not a fundamental human right to demand the world over

anyway, this guy needs a psychiatrist

wealth reveals. whatever else he is, this dude is a racist piece of shit

Sure, and I think your take on Fuentes’ spot on, nonetheless, the phenomenon, people hiding themselves from hatred by identifying with the hatred as well understood psychological phenomenon.

Karp feels like an example of that

to us that seem insane, but to her its her favourite fandom

perhaps she doesn't want to belong, perhaps she's just got awful taste

ultimately, what matters is her actions not how she reached them

he may be a bad example though, because in reality he's a huge cynic who says whatever gets the most profitable and fame increasing reaction from his chat

but the UK government has certainly had a lot of people, born in the UK, who were the children of immigrants, who despised immigrants and became head of immigration just to go on some sort of personal crusade against them. Priti Patel, Suella Braverman, etc

we must also consider the plight of the pick-me. the right wing media always has a place for members of minorities happy to tell them they're right, and punch further down the social hierarchy

the counter argument to all of this is it removes agency from these people. maybe they are just racist by random ideological preference

Also, people need to understand just how twisted Alex Karp is psychologically. He can rant about white superiority, but he’s a very mixed breed. This phenomenon is familiar to people of color where individuals of mixed background often become the most vitriolic racists.

Somebody like Nick Fuentes would be another example of this, but you have your pic from the GOP as well
