The Erosion of Collective Identity in America

This chapter examines America's historical resistance to collective action and government involvement, tracing the decline of worker solidarity since the neoliberal policies of the Reagan era. It highlights the concept of sociocide and the impact of remote work and social media on community bonds, particularly among the working class. The discussion connects these social changes to a broader political crisis, emphasizing the intertwined nature of economic inequality and the rise of authoritarianism in contemporary society.
