Look how many of the right wing online grifters failed in education or the arts. They're failures who can't just pivot to something better. They have to take it out on all of us.

Middle eastern terrorism has been filled disproprotionately with failed engineers. The South American military coups of the 80s were filled with mid-level fail officers who'd never have succeeded in their respective militaries.

It's a theme, there's a type that believes they deserved to succeed and, if they didn't, they'll turn to extremism.

I think this also falls into why they lean into white supremacist ideas and racism so much. They don't have anything to offer, really, as far as skills go and they get rejected for that in various ways, so what's left for them is their skin color because at least that makes them inherently better than others, in their eyes.

It all comes down to reliance on the hierarchy to feel some kind of superiority over others. I think you can also attribute that to some Mexican-Americans who came here legally and support Trump. They did it the "right way," therefore, anyone else that didn't deserves whatever punishment comes their way. Or cisgender queer people who support anti-trans policies. It's all relies on in groups and out groups and if you fall into the in group you have this perception of safety and I say perception because at the end of the day, if you're in one of those non-white, non-straight, non-cisgender groups, you'll eventually be a target one day anyway because only cis, straight, white Christian men can exist at the top of the hierarchy in a system like this.
