      Lots of western authoritarianism is ultimately motivated by racism. Can’t let Those People get political power, they’ll be angry about how we’ve been mistreating them.

        For the authoritarian leaders, it’s just a tool. Because it’s easier to convince people, that enemy is withing, and you can recognize it just by the skin color, or the ways of living.

        That’s why racism, nationalism, etc are used so often.
