Paul Saurette— “What does it mean, exactly, to say that discourse has power? Why, in other words, are some representations maintained while others are dismissed? How does a particular discourse, out of all the possibilities, achieve dominance? Particularly if the discourse in question is hegemonic, how has it “managed to successfully reproduce and maintain itself (against the ever threatening infinity of possibilities) over a long period of time?”

As Hannah Arendt said regarding the Holocaust, "Antisemitism explains everything...and therefore nothing."
