    Since the gif doesn’t work: “why would I hate someone weaker than myself? I only pity them”

      Well fascists love that dichotmy: The enemy is both strong and weak. “By a continuous shifting of rhetorical focus, the enemies are at the same time too strong and too weak."

      They make the enemy seem strong so they can rally support to fight (see: genocide) them. And they make them out as weak so they can be held in contempt and shown that the fascists are truly the strongest and deserve to rule. This contradiction is not analyzed by those supporting it. And is similar to “Doublethink” from 1984.

        We are talking about two different groups here my friend. But I guess calling someone nazi or fascist is just easier than actually using the brain.
