It most certainly is, how can a group they disparage simultaneously be weak and subhuman, while also having lots of power and "controlling the world"?

- teachrdan 8y agoIt's similar to how Redpillers would explain how women, who they believe to be less intelligent than men (among other deficiencies) are still able to dominate society: through lies and manipulation and controlling the media, etc. It's remarkable how much the narrative stays the same whether the enemy is women, or Jews, or people of color.
- coldtea 8y agoOne obvious answer (not ascribing to the theory, just playing devil's advocate) is through deception and manipulation. A group is weak, so it resorts to manipulation and deceiving , and thus gains power over stronger more "pure" groups don't stoop down to these tactics.
- md_ 8y agoOddly, this is a common trope in a lot of popular media, where heroes are often noble and strong, whereas their opponents are weak but cunning. (Various "Batman" movies have such plots, where Batman is almost brought low by the scheming of physically weak adversaries.)

- jonhendry18 8y ago"A group is weak, so it resorts to manipulation and deceiving" And yet the "superior" group isn't smart enough to evade or detect this effectively.
- coldtea 8y agoWell, superior could mean morally better, more hardworking, etc - so could be equally smart or even more, but might not be cynical enough to even think someone could do this kind of thing. The superior group is not meant to be "superior" in every aspect -- only to the aspects that matter for the values of those defining it.
