Another BBC Hatchet Job?

I think they probably hate themselves and are trying to displace it.

The followers tend to be society's losers, the leaders the usual exploitative types.

Interestingly the same techniques are used over and over again: the loser followers are told by their leaders that they are superior to another element of society who are therfore worthless.

e.g.
Muslim fundamentalists are told non-Muslim are "kaffir" and therefore lesser human beings
Nazis were told Jews were parasites and therefore lesser human beings
Zionists are told that they are the chosen people and therefore Palestinians are lesser human beigs.

Once you have established that a group of people is "lesser" than you, you can proceed with killing them without injuring your conscience.

Oh, I see what you mean.

It's the de-humanisation of your enemy. It makes mass-slaughter more acceptable.

He is on a mission to look like an arse today, which really shines when the poster tries with each day to look like an arse.

It's a method of showing off used by baboons and some other lower primates:
the one with the reddest bum wins.

That is what I said, Sherlock.

But what about killing Chavs and Neds, surely it would be a mercy killing ?
