Good reading here:

Right-wing authoritarianism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Right-wing authoritarianism (RWA) is a personality and ideological variable studied in political, social, and personality psychology. It is defined by three attitudinal and behavioral clusters which correlate together:[1][2]
  1. Authoritarian submission — a high degree of submissiveness to the authorities who are perceived to be established and legitimate in the society in which one lives.
  2. Authoritarian aggression — a general aggressiveness directed against deviants, outgroups, and other people that are perceived to be targets according to established authorities.
  3. Conventionalism — a high degree of adherence to the traditions and social norms that are perceived to be endorsed by society and its established authorities, and a belief that others in one's society should also be required to adhere to these norms[3].
The terminology of authoritarianism, right-wing authoritarianism, and authoritarian personality tend to be used interchangeably by psychologists, though inclusion of the term "personality" may indicate a psychodynamic interpretation consistent with the original formulation of the theory.

Not really sure where you're going with this but the article states it has relatively little to do with right and left wing political beliefs

It's a fact that the United States has fought more wars than any other nation in history. The annihilation of the American Indian, the enslavement and torture of Black Americans, the KKK, lynchings of black folks, the destruction of Vietnam and deaths of millions of Vietnamese with napalm bombs, the dropping of a nuclear bomb on the Japanese people, the killings of millions of Iraqi people and the deaths of millions in Afghanistan are all manifestations of hate displayed by this nation. And the people of this nation display the same hatred toward themselves and others.
Um.... is this what they're teaching in the Poli Sci departments of Junior Colleges in dying states like California these days? I ask, because you don't seem the sort who could come up with this by oneself. It sounds like you're reciting things someone taught you: someone who barely passed Math 100, and so barely made it into a teaching position.

And as a Native American, I don't feel at all 'Anihilated'. The difference between America's treatment of Indigenous Peoples, and the treatment, in most other countries, of Indigenous Peoples by the ascendant groups, is this: here, we get goodies on top of goodies. I got a free ride for my first degree, thanks to the kindly white people who funded my schooling and built the University (and originated virtually everything taught in that school...in addition to the Air Conditioning, the Electricity, the Cafeteria...).

Maybe you should check into the way Mexico treats its Indigenous Peoples. Or how the Han Chinese and the Japanese have treated primitive peoples within their territories. Or how the Bantu are treating the Pygmies at this very moment. Or how the Zulus treat the Bushmen.

It seems to me that what you know about the World, and about History, is what someone who couldn't get into a good degree program and thus settled for one of the 'Humanities' (and who could only function in an academic setting) has taught you. Seeing life from the viewpoint of a 'professor' who goes home to a 'good life' consisting of the 'Three C's' (Coffee, Cats, and Cigarettes), and who makes a living pushing the culture of Victimization, is not a good way to gain much perspective.

Before the freedom of the Internet is shut down, I would beg you to learn about the World, as it actually is, rather than as filtered and repackaged by Radical Marxist Authors and Professors.

A good place to start would be researching the lives of Haiti's 300,000 or so 'Restavec' Slave Children.

Or maybe read about the recent archaeological digs which have revealed genocide by Indigenous Groups in North America against other Indigenous Groups.

Me, I'm grateful to Americans for everything they have given me.

NPR did a story yesterday which pretty much summed it up. Human nature is teritorial and will fight to protect their own kind and territory for its own survival.

It goes both ways but nobody in Wisconsin was killed so this is a bit more serious and, unlike Wisconsin, you won't see this on Fox News. Why don't we just quit finger pointing and get rid of ALL the trouble makers and scum?

It was pure luck that no one was killed in Wisconsin. Either way the perps in both instances should be squashed! Who wants to live with the punks that perpretrated any of these crimes!

There is so much racial hatred in America because the 1% have brainwashed the rest of us into thinking we have no commonality. Divide and conquer, and what better divider than along race and ethnicity. That's how poor white Southerners where convinced to go along with segregation even though the loathsome policy had no financial benefit to either Blacks or Whites. I hope this race bating will one day end because the thought it will continue into the future is giving me hives.

Well racism won't end but these "teens" who killed this man on purpose will soon find out the true meaning of "racism" when they become butt slaves for their black masters in prison. Oh and vaseline is expensive even in Mississippi!
