CHAUVIN — ISM
Interesting that the root of murderous cop Derek Chauvin’s name is the root of the word Chauvinism.
Chauvinism is the irrational belief in the superiority or dominance of one’s own group or people, who are seen as strong and virtuous, while others are considered weak or unworthy.[1] It can be described as a form of extreme patriotism and nationalism, a fervent faith in national excellence and glory.
Chauvinism has extended from its original use to include fanatical devotion and undue partiality to any group or cause to which one belongs, especially when such partisanship includes prejudice against or hostility toward outsiders or rival groups and persists even in the face of overwhelming opposition.
I find it interesting anyway.
