Psychoanalysis as a Political Tool?

Sally Kohn: What do you think of psychoanalysis as a political tool? As in a tool for power? She says we have to explain the psychological causes that cause these things to be compelling. We can say, why do people feel good about supporting the war in Ukraine? Like or why are supporting the Ukrainian side or, you know, whatever it is they think they're doing like what makes them feel so successful and warm?"Kohn: There's an attraction to this sort of generic concept of activism; there's something obviously there's a kind of strong herd emotion here.
