As anyone familiar with psychology, ethology, or primatology, or especially anyone familiar with schoolground interactions, the party beaten on will turn to the next available weaker party to beat on in turn. Turning on Polish plumbers is the easy way out for distressed Brits, as unfair and likely as any victimizing by the bullied. I refer to this as "Left dhimmi fascism," a round, writing under the influence of Eric Fromm, of sado-masochism. Breaking that round of masochistic dhimmitude means leaving the collective and its "unfreedom" for the horror of the freedom escaped from. How does one convince the escapee, if Hoffer's thesis is as right as I think it is, that one is better off facing the horror of ones solitude in the universe as a hated self in favour of humility? To abandon ones self-loathing in favour of individuation and the horror of it would mean to surrender ones great hubris in the first place that charges one to turn on others, accepting oneself first as not-victim. To victimise the "other" in turn is to collectivise the masochism eternally. <br /><br />Positing as axiomatic the natural right of everyman to free thought makes the mere replacement of one sado-fascist authority pointless at best. So, whether Islam or Obama, the tyranny is a matter of degree rather than kind. That leaves us with a hole in our theoretical needs, as far as I'm concerned. How to fill that hole is the larger part of the content of this blog.<br /><br />Thanks for the comment. It sums up the point nicely.Daghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10664271893389366772noreply@blogger.com
