The Age of Rage

Current societal dynamics reflect a significant rise in anger, particularly observable since the political events of the past decade, such as Brexit and the 2016 U.S. election. This anger is often exacerbated by social media, which has transformed from a tool for community building into a breeding ground for anxiety and outrage. Political elites are increasingly viewed with resentment, fueling populist movements fueled by a collective sense of discontent. Voices ranging from psychoanalysts to cultural commentators have emphasized how this pervasive anger shapes personal identities and political landscapes.
