      I think constantly about how there's right-wing bias built into the media - fundamentally built into our culture - and this is part of it To many people fascists *feel* strong, their brand is built on these symbols of strength, no matter how weak their actions actually arehttps://twitter.com/nberlat/status/1348029382431043585 …

      I've been thinking a lot about this, about how the whole left/right conservative/liberal whatever-you-want-to-call-it divide is built on this People the culture just says intrinsically belong here, deserve to be here, are the kind of people who live here And people who aren't

      The big tough manly dude and his pretty innocent housewife and their adorable kids The good Christian family, "all-American", blonde hair and white skin and Anglo names, red white and blue Everyone unconsciously defers to them, gives them extra credit

      It's always like this People who swear up and down they don't have a racist bone in their body still unconsciously think it's "normal" for people like that to be in charge and pushing back is always walking uphill

      Terry Pratchett captured this really well in Discworld The deep dwarves, the hardcore reactionary religious fundamentalists, are a tiny minority among dwarves and yet they get a ton of deference People know they're "crazy nutters" but let them go about their business

      Cheri, who is the dwarven equivalent of a trans woman, is HATED by their movement (a "ha'ak", a heretic) and they've outright threatened her safety And yet she privately admits in her heart of hearts she can't imagine the world without them

      Nobody else believes shit like that letting sunlight touch your skin contaminates you or that all trolls should be genocided and their bodies ground to powder and whatnot But it would *feel wrong* if they just ceased to exist

      Like the "liberal" dwarves feel slightly reassured someone else believes all that so they have someone to compete themselves against and be more liberal than They're the measuring stick authenticity is counted by, they're what you know as a deviant you're deviating from

      They like to think this system is stable - "Well, they can be old-fashioned, and I can be more liberal and tolerant than them, and they can condemn me and I can be smug about being freer than them we can just keep on going that way and everyone's happy" But, well, it isn't

          Replying to @arthur_affect

          IMO Big Love explored a similar theme. The main protagonists were LDS polygamists but not *those* polygamists with the strange clothing and hairdos. The protagonists also got looked down on by "mainstream" monogamist Mormons in their community & all felt maligned by non-Mormons.
