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.

Ago of Losers. Degenerate Westerners who had it all and blew it in less than 2 generations. Doubly so for the US - from 1st to worst in under a century. That’s got to be a new record. Lost pretty much everything except the bragging & ego. Both unjustified. They know it deep down, hence the rage..looking to scapegoat others for your own failure. Since you refuse to take responsibility & humble yourselves, you’ll live in humiliation & anger instead. That’s the mind set of a spoiled brat…. loser.

“Blow, winds, and crack your cheeks! Rage, blow!”
Talk about a leader with anger issues…

Social media gave all the in-bred arses a way to shout their opinions (so to speak) and the sense that they’re not alone.
I wouldn’t be that cocky about Easterners, either.
