I am curious if anti-racists ever give spittle-beflecked speeches? <\/p>\n<p>Heilbrun&#8217;s point is that any white who cares about his fellow whites as a group is a knuckle-dragging Nazi. <\/p>\n<p>Heilbrun adds: <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>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<p>Most people don&#8217;t care about the suffering of out-groups. There&#8217;s nothing heinous in Jean-Marie Le Pen&#8217;s attitude. Why should he care about the Jewish Holocaust any more than he cares about any other genocide? <\/p>\n<p>Heilbrun writes: &#8220;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.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>All in-groups tend to demonize out-groups. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The demons that European leaders tried to suppress after 1945 are back. It won\u2019t be easy to exorcise them.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s called Genetic Similarity Theory. People and animals prefer their own kind. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jacob Heilbrun writes: &#8220;Unlike in the 1930s, Le Pen and her compatriots do not deliver spittle-beflecked speeches calling for the extermination of other races.&#8221; I am unfamiliar with anyone giving spittle-beflecked speeches in the 1930s calling for the extermination of &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/?p=61955\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-61955","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-race"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61955","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=61955"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61955\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":61961,"href":"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61955\/revisions\/61961"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=61955"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=61955"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=61955"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
