Know Your Enemy

Wednesday, February 18, 2026 4:01

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

I read this over at Tim Worstalls Blog:

The term the politics of hate describes the deliberate use of fear, resentment, and division to win and hold power. It works by persuading people that their problems are caused not by failed policy or unequal power, but by other people, whether they be migrants, minorities, the poor, neighbouring nations, people of another gender or sexual orientation, or anyone else who can be turned into an enemy.

It’s a quote from Richard Murphy, the man man with the economic knowledge of a pigeon. In his usual short, sharp style, Tims short, sharp response is:

Yeah, like the rich, or neoliberals……

True. The left have their own ways of persuading people their problems are caused by others, most notably, trying to convince us that all our problems are because someone else is a billionaire

But we could look a little deeper here

It works by persuading people that their problems are caused not by failed policy…

Let’s take a look at some failed policies:

Migrants: Hundreds of thousands of them coming here illegally, and not even bothering to take our jobs, the bastards, just mooching off our very generous welfare state

Minorities: Trying their very best to put us in the minority. Changing the very fabric of our society until the areas they live in resemble the very shitholes they left, all the while making sure the local folk are no longer welcome there. Not to mention their dogs

Out in the streets blocking traffic, protesting for and waving the flags of their home countries

The Poor: The term used by the left for people who refuse to work and choose a life of taxpayer handouts, thanks to our very generous welfare system that robs from the productive and gives to the feckless. The real poor are us working stiffs who have to pay for all this with our ever increasing taxes

neighbouring nations: You mean France, sending us all their unwanted invaders? Or the EU?

People of another gender or sexual orientation: Not including men and women, of course. Only the trans cult who want to invade womens spaces and groom the next generation of children to have their bits cut off

or anyone else who can be turned into an enemy: This is like using ‘Etc’ when you have used up all your examples

These are all very good examples of policies that have failed miserably

To me, the Government has always been the enemy. The problem is failed Government policies turn other people into the enemy too; usually groups of people who want everything in life for free, for various reasons, or groups of very insignificant people who want to raise thier own profiles by messing with our lives

Our politics of hate is simply politics of pointing out what is going wrong and asking that our elected representatives do something about it. Something that will work, rather than just another failed policy like ‘tax the rich’

Their politics of hate is simply, ‘Punish the rich and give us more free stuff’

Of course, I won’t comment any of this at Richard Murphys place, as he bans anyone who even slightly disagrees with him, so I was probably PNG’d decades ago
