Trump provided the Alt-right with a megaphone, and they thanked him be shouting Sieg Heil outside his rallies. Online hate groups from alt-right activists to the anti-woman crusaders of Gamergate, together with political activists adept at the creation of propagandized fake news such as Stephen Bannon of Breitbart, were key in spreading xenophobia and white supremacy over social media platforms, most notably Twitter and Facebook. Trump and outlines how they propelled him into the White House. The chapter explores the message content, construction and dissemination of alt-right themes-misogyny, racism, white supremacy, xenophobia, Islamaphoboa, fear of immigrants and “white genocide”-employed in the campaign discourses of Donald J.
In the aftermath of the 2016 Presidential election in the United States, as media, political operatives, the American public and the global community began to come to terms with the outcome, it soon became evident that the use of new media was key to the resurrection of old hates. Nowhere has xenophobia, racism and misogyny challenged International Human Rights Conventions, humanitarian principles and the core values of Cosmopolitan Solidarity more than in the United States with the election of Donald J. The effects of the Balkan, Sudanese, and Rwandan genocides are still felt by both survivors and perpetrators, and continue to play a role in how the groups relate to one another, and the case of the Sudanese genocides is still ongoing. Within each case study, genocidal tools such as genocidal rape, gendercide, propaganda and indoctrination are addressed in their relation to the gendering and racializing of power relationships in genocide.
Using the case studies of the Balkan genocides, the Sudanese genocides of Nuba and Darfur, and the 1994 Rwandan genocide, this thesis will attempt to illustrate the idea that the identities of both perpetrator and victim are constructed in order for one to wield power over the other. The primary goal of this thesis is to analyze the power relationship in the pre-genocide and genocide stages between the perpetrator and the victim on the macro or group level and the micro or individual level. The primary question addressed is whether the power relationship that emerges as a result of these pre-genocidal stages becomes gendered and racialized due to perceptions rooted in a male-dominated hierarchy and a belief in the superiority of one ethnicity over another. This thesis is designed to delve deeper into perceptions of identity, specifically gender and racial identity, the power relationship that emerges as each of these switches is reached in the progression towards genocide, and the effects of these perceptions during and after the genocide takes place.
