How can we explain the origins of the great wave of paranoid hatreds that seem inescapable in our close-knit world - from American shooters and ISIS to Donald Trump, from a rise in vengeful nationalism to racism and misogyny on social media? In Age of Anger, Pankaj Mishra answers our bewilderment by casting his gaze back to the 18th century before leading us to the present. As the world became modern, those who were unable to enjoy its promises of freedom, stability, and prosperity were increasingly susceptible to demagogues. It was from among the ranks of the disaffected that the militants of the 19th century arose - angry young men who became cultural nationalists in Germany, messianic revolutionaries in Russia, bellicose chauvinists in Italy, and anarchist terrorists internationally. Today, just as then, the embrace of mass politics and technology and the pursuit of wealth and individualism have cast many more billions adrift, uprooted from tradition but still far from modernity - with the same terrible results. Making startling connections and comparisons, Age of Anger is a book of immense urgency and profound argument. It is a history of our present predicament unlike any other.

How can we explain these fractious times? Quite simple really. Mass immigration from the Third World, identity politics and liberalism from the left. Unsurprisingly, homogeneous nations like Japan that reject “multi-culturalism” and don’t reject their own native culture and values are free from all this tribalism and disharmony.

litote, your hysterical tribal monkey blame game is the exact same thing American progressives do.
Left or right y’all are 100% certain you are the good guys & 100% right on everything & 100% certain the other tribe are the bad guys & 100% wrong on everything - what are the chances any worldview in the history of humanity was 100% right on everything?
I’ve never once heard any American tribal monkey so much as express the slightest bit of doubt let alone admit they were wrong on some issue.
Primitive Manichean worldviews/narratives are limiting & are conjured up by the ruling class’s priestly class - divide & rule.
Real power is pragmatic & has no ideology & is loyal to no people.
While y’all spent the last few decades at each others throats, because of the largely manufactured & hyped to hell cultural wars, your masters picked your pockets & hollowed out your country.

I know, I know, it’s just so much more satisfying to blame the libtards or conserveatards.
