Rule of Reason
Why Nationalism Surges After Tragedy | Rule of Reason | Ep. 22
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Why does anger feel so justified after violent events?
Why does nationalism surge after tragedy?
In this episode of Rule of Reason, I explore what sits underneath public outrage — loss of trust, fear, and the breakdown of shared identity — and why dismissing these emotions only makes things worse.
Most people aren’t angry because they’re hateful. They’re angry because they feel unheard and unprotected. Understanding that distinction matters if we want stability rather than division.
Healthy nationalism protects what is shared. Toxic nationalism excludes. Knowing the difference is essential.
