All forms of political extremism require one form of othering or another. In order to maintain a status quo of extremity they require the existence of a perceived existential threat that they can portray as a danger to the state, individuals, and society as a whole. This perceived enemy can be a racial group, sexual category, or economic class. Whatever keeps the people angry at something that isn’t the power in charge.
