Resilience Culture versus the Rise of Identity-Based Disability

A shift in American culture is noted where historical resilience is being replaced by a "disability culture" that encourages young people to seek out psychiatric diagnoses. The discussion links identity politics and inherent guilt to the increasing number of individuals identifying as "neurodivergent" or mentally ill on social media. This trend is viewed as a form of mass conditioning that externalizes solutions to life's challenges rather than fostering internal strength.

Nihilism, Identity Politics, and the Return to Former Glory

Gary Lachman applies Nietzsche’s concept of "trickle-down metaphysics" to the current global identity crisis. He argues that the deconstruction of Western values has left a void, leading to the rise of "identity politics" and a "war of all against all." In this chaotic environment, leaders like Putin and Trump become attractive by promising a return to former national glory—whether through the concept of "Holy Russia" or "Make America Great Again."
