I’ve been thinking a bit about the similarities in settler based cultures lately. The commonalities with Israelis, Northern Irish “loyalists/unionists” and Americans is amazing. They all have the same extreme paranoia and racist supremacy. Absolutely assured of their righteous place as being better and above others. Machismo and a rugged individualism. Triumphalism, ultraviolence, callous inhumanity, over the top flag waving right-nationalism.
I’d love to be a fly on the wall for some of the conversations they have with their kids to teach them their culture of hate. How they pass the message of hate and bigotry down about their superiority.
It’s really a damning tell, they identify with each other.
