Still crazy after all these years: “the paranoid style in American politics”

Still crazy after all these years: “the paranoid style in American politics” In the US, the 9/11 attacks resulted in the instantaneous crystallization of a paranoid group formation, functioning as defense – not against the real dangers of the situation – but rather against an underlying, identity‐shattering state of psychotic panic. This regressed collective emotional state was exploited by the Bush regime to initiate the war in Iraq, a war that plays out internationally the Ur‐Fascistic tendencies that late capitalistic systems have difficulty containing.

Abstract

In the US, the 9/11 attacks resulted in the instantaneous crystallization of a paranoid group formation, functioning as defense – not against the real dangers of the situation – but rather against an underlying, identity‐shattering state of psychotic panic. This regressed collective emotional state was exploited by the Bush regime to initiate the war in Iraq, a war that plays out internationally the Ur‐Fascistic tendencies that late capitalistic systems have difficulty containing.
