A thread on viewing far right ideology through the lens of abuse. I think of this as the original sin: other people are less than me. Once that idea takes root, all of humanity sorts into castes and abuse is rationalized.

Mallory Moore

The connection between abusers and far right figures is generally not so much a failure of the far right to look at the plank in their own eyes before accusing others, and much more a matter of the fact that rape culture and violent ideology share a dependency on dehumanising the other.
