Glenn Greenwald Nails It

The predominant mentality in right-wing political rhetoric finds expression in this form: "I am part of/was born into Group X, and Group X -- my group -- is both better and treated so very unfairly." This claim persists -- indeed, is often intensified -- even when Group X is clearly the strongest, most privileged and most favored group. So intense is their need for self-victimiziation -- so inebriating is their self-absorption and so lacking are they in any capacity for empathy -- that, for all the noise and rhetoric, the argumets they make virtually always have this tribalistic self-absorption at its core.

It's a defining attribute of early adolescence to be incapable of seeing the world through any lens other than total self-centeredness, self-absorption and empathy-free self-obsession. If you watch for it (principally though not only in) right-wing discourse, you will see that this is really the central theme animating most of what they write: My group is superior. My group (political, national, religious, ethic, gender) is victimized and treated unfairly. The misery and suffering my group inflicts on far less powerful groups is irrelevant and always justifiable. They never advanced beyond the adolescent stage of tribalistic self-absorption and it's amazing how completely that lies at the core of most of what they believe and argue.

And I think many of them don't actually admit inflicting any misery and suffering. They see it as taking care of business – doing what needs to be done to survive in a world that’s always persecuting them.

....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
