Jacob Heilbrun writes<\/a>: “Unlike in the 1930s, Le Pen and her compatriots do not deliver spittle-beflecked speeches calling for the extermination of other races.”<\/p>\n

I am unfamiliar with anyone giving spittle-beflecked speeches in the 1930s calling for the extermination of other races. I am curious if anti-racists ever give spittle-beflecked speeches? <\/p>\n

Heilbrun’s point is that any white who cares about his fellow whites as a group is a knuckle-dragging Nazi. <\/p>\n

Heilbrun adds: <\/p>\n

Le Pen avoids the kind of demagogic language used by her father Jean-Marie Le Pen, a former intelligence officer in France\u2019s vicious war in Algeria, who called the Holocaust a mere \u201cdetail.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Most people don’t care about the suffering of out-groups. There’s nothing heinous in Jean-Marie Le Pen’s attitude. Why should he care about the Jewish Holocaust any more than he cares about any other genocide? <\/p>\n

Heilbrun writes: “Today, a new generation of leaders on the right has seized on Europe\u2019s economic malaise to argue that the real culprit is Islamic immigrants taking jobs away from the native-born. The underlying sentiment \u2014 the demonization of an \u201cout\u201d group \u2014 recalls the wave of anti-Semitism that helped propel fascist political parties to triumphs during the 1930s.”<\/p>\n

All in-groups tend to demonize out-groups. <\/p>\n

“The demons that European leaders tried to suppress after 1945 are back. It won\u2019t be easy to exorcise them.”<\/p>\n

It’s called Genetic Similarity Theory. People and animals prefer their own kind. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
