3. The Construction of Violent Political Discourses. It is not sufficient to explain political violence solely by reference to certain structural preconditions. What actually needs to be explained is how neighbors once ignorant of the very idea that they belonged to opposed civilizations begin to think - and hate - in these terms; how they vilify and demonize people they once called friends; how, in short, the seeds of mutual paranoia are sown, grain by grain, on the soil of a common life. 33 The key necessary variable in explaining sustained political violence, I believe, is the deliberate construction of a totalizing war discourse, a “vast cultural complex” that deconstructs existing anti-war discourses and destroys sites of opposition, and then replaces it with new discourses of hatred, fear, and the justified use of extreme violence.

In other words, even if there is within an individual a questioning doubt about the war they are fighting, “there are no newspapers, no radio stations, no alternative language in which he can frame his doubts and discover that others have doubts just like him”. 31 The discourse has foreclosed certain kinds of thought, and with it, certain kinds of action. Of course, although language and text as being constitutive (and not merely representational) is crucial to the notion of discourse, society is not reducible to language and linguistic analysis.
