Like religion, politics attracts kooks and grifters because it is a field where results have a mysterious and hard-to-trace relationship with the time, effort, and cash invested in them. Grifters use this to create lucrative and low-effort consulting jobs. For kooks, the comfort is more psychological. If a kook can convince himself — or better yet, others — that Freemasons, Jews, or Cultural Marxists run the whole world, he’s suddenly relieved of the burden of explaining to himself and others the shipwreck of his own talents and ambitions. And speaking of grifters, if kooks start digging into the crack in their minds and sometimes end up with a cracked will, grifters start with a cracked will and usually end up with an empty mind. Anything like a conviction could get in the way of the money-making.
Well I mean I struggled to interpret this.yeah, I invented Nationalism, and being a dick. not that it's a base feeling, for inadequate's and saying it's a reaction is the most pathetic excuse for their own vileness, or owt.
Evil people have never owned up to what they do, they always blame others for behaving appallingly, the Alt-right is a seething cauldron of victimhood based on a ridiculously wrong premise that the most privelleged in society are somehow disadvantaged.
I agree 100% with all this but would like to add.... all the bigoted left wing extreme socialist types who are just as power hungry no less selfish who blame anybody who has money or power for being evil far right bastards and getting that money power off illegal activity, stepping on the bones of the underprivileged and pretty much the cause of all bad things in the world... which is also not true.yeah, I invented Nationalism, and being a dick. not that it's a base feeling, for inadequate's and saying it's a reaction is the most pathetic excuse for their own vileness, or owt.

So yeah they have to blame the Liberals, Socialists, Feminists, Jews, Blkacks, Mexicans and every ****ing one else, but themselves, because secretly even they know those and the ones appeasing them are, of course, the only ones to blame for this mass distortion of any reality in this World.
None of it's new, the Alt-right is just another name for it, with different targets, and it existed before Hitler throughout history.
Terry Pratchet and Neil Gaimen, Good OmensIt may help to understand human affairs to be clear that most of the great triumphs and tragedies of history are caused, not by people being fundamentally good or fundamentally bad, but by people being fundamentally people.
