You don’t have to look very hard in today’s world to realize a lot of people today are just angry. They’re mad about politics, their own situation, or other groups among many other things. And the more they feel like no one hears them, the worse things become. This anger is increasingly showing itself in the forms of racism, nationalism, and misogyny. But why are people so mad? When and where did this begin? And what does our increasingly globalized world have to do with it? If we all look a little bit closer, we can see that it didn’t just appear out of nowhere. In fact, there have been many signs in the past few hundred years that foreshadowed we would one day come to this. "The circulation of Enlightenment principles shed light on the unfairness and wealth discrepancies all around, making individuals feel disillusioned. As national identity fades, many people start to feel left behind and want to resist the change" _____________________________________________ This resentment all-too-easily leads to poor decision making. Supremacist networks are able to feed on this alienation and anger and enlist “freedom fighters” with the promise they will have a sense of identity. It also leads to the rise of demagogues-leaders who appeal to the desires and prejudices of the people. They put their faith in the people, who are often violent, in their desperation to feel heard.
