On Tuesday 4 May 1926, two million workers downed tools in the only nationwide all-hands strike ever held in Britain. The General Strike had begun, and the country braced itself for what many believed was a moment akin to the Russian Revolution, which had shaken the world only a decade earlier. Industry was deprived of gas and electricity; the buses, trains and trams all stopped; newspapers ceased publication; and workers abandoned mines and iron, steel and chemical works around the country. The General Strike has entered our national mythology.

American political history has a rhythm and a progression. Part of that progression is White populist anger and resentment.

In Talkshows, in Bundestagsdebatten, am Abendbrottisch – überall wird über »Opfer« gesprochen. Doch zunehmend sind damit nicht Menschen gemeint, denen Unrecht widerfahren ist. Sondern solche, die die Harmonie stören, als verweichlicht gelten, andere herunterziehen oder sich über sie stellen wollen. »Opfer« – das ist längst ein Vorwurf geworden. Wenn Menschen nicht so viel jammern würden, heißt es, hätten wir nicht so viele Probleme. Was passiert in unserer Gesellschaft, wenn Sensibilität als elitär gilt, das »Recht des Stärkeren« dagegen als egalitär und authentisch?
