The Atlantic - Elon. Trump. Resentment.
by Tom Nichols

On October 7, the Republican House Judiciary Committee cryptically tweeted, “Kanye. Elon. Trump.” The tweet was, predictably, ridiculed—especially after Ye (as Kanye West is now known), just days later, threatened “death con 3 on JEWISH PEOPLE” on Twitter. But, intentionally or not, the committee had hit upon a basic truth: The three are alike.

What unites these successful men—and, yes, Trump is successful—is their seething resentment toward a world that has rewarded them money and influence, but that still refuses to grant them the respect they think is their due. And if we should have learned anything since 2016, it is that resentment is perhaps the most powerful political force in the modern world.

In the late-19th and early-20th centuries, nationalism had its turn at spurring us to destroy ourselves; in later years, the struggle with monstrous ideologies killed tens of millions and brought us repeatedly to the brink of nuclear war. Today, however, social and cultural resentment is driving millions of people into a kind of mass psychosis.

And in many cases, plenty of “the people” are just fine with that. As the British journalist Simon Kuper noted a few years ago, anti-system parties in the United Kingdom, Italy, and the United States are powered not by struggling workers, but by the “comfortably off populist voter” who has “never been invited into the fast lane of life: the top universities, the biggest firms, the major corporations.” The January 6 rioters were, by and large, not the dispossessed; they were real-estate agents and chiropractors. These citizens think that the disconnect between material success and their perceived lack of status must be punished, and if that means voting for election deniers and conspiracy theorists, so be it.

If you still doubt the power of resentment, remember this: Trump wasted his years as the most powerful man in the world whining about how no one respects him. Thiel has spent many millions propping up two candidates who are shameful buffoons. And Musk just lit $44 billion, with a B, on fire so that he could be a hero to an army of trolls that continues to goad him into doing even dumber things, as the Bonfire of the Dead Presidents roars away.

There is one more example of such resentment, and it’s a lot less funny. Russia is an entire nation seized with a massive inferiority complex, and the Russian regime is giving vent to that resentment in the continual murder of Ukrainians. Putin, an insecure thug, has his own bizarre reasons for the war, but the brutality of the Russians on the battlefield against their Slavic kin is very much rooted in resentment: Why do you live in freedom? Why are you living better than us?

What's the difference between Republicans and roaches?

Some people like roaches

Wasting their time and breath.

Asking a Republican to condemn antisemitism is like asking the KKK to condemn racism

Now I'm not saying I think every single Republican is an antisemite

I'm saying it's a fact that they are, not an opinion

"Why do you live in freedom? Why are you living better than us?"

My answer to any Republican or other such gutter people who asks this question is quite simple

It's because we ARE better than you

Mentally, physically and quite probably genetically in many cases since from looking at a vast number of Republicans running for office and the kind of cattle that vote for them I have to imagine that several centuries of inbreeding went into making people this ****ing nauseatingly ugly

People who are not Republicans are absolutely superior to those who are.

Hell, apes that can use sign language are superior to Republicans

Republicans are the kind of people that I wouldn't describe as vermin because I wouldn't want to insult vermin with that comparison

LMAO!

What a waste of a perfectly good beer though
