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.

The General Strike has entered our national mythology.

The Forgotten Man and White Populist Resentment: Power, Politics, and Narrative Dominance in the Trump Era traces how this White populism rose to dominate the Republican Party primary base, how the populist campaigns of Pat Buchanan and Newt Gingrich paved the way for the rise of Donald Trump, and how he maintains narrative dominance over both parties and American political discourse.

Bullying and intimidation are not accidental features of contemporary American life; they have become deliberate tools of power that increasingly define our politics. In Confronting Political Intimidation and Public Bullying, Roddey Reid examines how intimidation and bullying have been normalized across public life-from schools, workplaces, and new media ecosystems to electoral politics and civic institutions.

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?
