Sara Ahmed examines how the politics of hatred is used in the creation of an other to justify white supremacy. 

She draws on the psychoanalytic concept of displacement and projection and Marx to map how this work is done.

Through conceptualizing the "one" and the "other", Ahmed creates a sense of how groups unify over hatred and oppression

Ahmed creates a connection to the idea of nationalism, and how groups that feel othered can gather around a shared sense of pride and strength

This sense of pride and strength in nationalism coincides with white nationalism, stemming from fear, resulting in rage

In hating (fearing) "others", a group centers itself, and isolates

Gender is very much seen through the binary lens

Dominant and submissive 

Male and female

No space allowed for a spectrum/gender non-comforming people

• In a similar way to how women are seen as the major issue and pigeon holed into having the same views, race is defined into a closed mold (Describing Asian  women as "noodlewhores")
• many of the "variations" of Incels point towards the "standard" being a white male and the descriptions of others being based off of incredibly white/western ideas of the "other". 
• White men are placed at the top of the sexually desirable pyramid. 
• There is a strong hierarchy based off of sex as well as race. 
• "At the top of the incel hierarchy are the most attractive men, “Chads.” Incels believe that roughly 20 percent of the population is made up of Chads but about 80 percent of women are only interested in men of this class. “Stacy,” the incel term for the most attractive women, will only consent to sex with Chad, Tyrone (the incel word for a black Chad), Chang (East Asian Chad), Chadpreet (South Asian Chad), or Chaddam (Arab Chad). Incels, in case you can’t tell, have serious racial hang-ups." (Our Incel Problem, Zach Beauchamp)

An incel, or "involuntary celibate", is a term coined for men who use the internet as a means to blame women for their sexless lives.

Incels rationalize this problem as exterior source (women) instead of blaming oneself. This may be a causation of their own insecurities and their  fear/hatred of women.

Fear, as discussed in Ahmed's piece, is a reaction to something unknown or foreign. In this case, incels fear women and their power.

From fear of rejection, past experience of betrayal or personal hatred 

Being “emotionally manipulative” and questioning men's “authority”

Not living up to masculine stereotypes so take it out on women

Afraid of sexual liberation (people are afraid of women being comfortable expressing themselves in this manner)

Can't give power/independence to women because of own insecurities

- Women as an entire social body.
- Any sense of equality based on gender, race, how one presents their body. 
- social interactions that aren't about sex (incel's seem to believe that everything is about sex). ]]> 2021-03-04 19:40:13 UTC https://padlet.com/fhuebner1/zul187aaraikmnos/wish/1270992207 awhite817 https://padlet.com/fhuebner1/zul187aaraikmnos/wish/1271011859

The Incel Movement's intent shifted from being communal with moderators that explicitly removed sexist comments (a support group) to being filled with rage and anger towards women and praises for mass killers.

This communal backing of hate and othering displays their ultimate fear of women and their sexual emancipation.
