Xenocidio, polarizzazione, rimozioni

Rather than ecumenical embraces, it seems that globalization is too often translating into an increase in xenophobic sentiments, and therefore into the risk of contagion from the dark temptation of xenocide, the killing of foreigners simply because they are foreigners. In the West this abyss has two sides: on the one hand, there is the risk of the reassertion of the fascisms of the intolerant Western right-wingers; on the other hand, there is the risk of the expansion of the other fascism that we do not see emerging, and that motivates the former as a response to its advance. This other fascism that we do not see is the fascism of the other, the fascism of a migrant section turned against the residents, the exotic fascism underlying the tide of anti-Western hatred, of anti-white racism that mounts against the Global North, either in a spontaneous, unrelated form, vaguely inspired by a postcolonial resentment, or as a jihadist project of Islamist subjugation of the West. This feeling of hatred directed against the West does not dwell in the souls of all migrants, as right-wingers basically imagine, but left-wingers deal with this problem by removing it, not understanding that it is not enough to say that migrants do not hate us, not understanding that one should also begin to recognize and deal with the part of migrants who experience and enact such hatred.
