Part of the psychology involved here is the connection between these changes and anxiety. There's no getting around the fact that change brings anxiety, as well as opportunity. It's just that sometimes there's too much anxiety, too much fear. For some the anxiety then blinds them to the opportunities that also come with change and difference. And anxiety dominates when someone can’t find identity, community, and purpose. So, when change happens, as it does now constantly, too many feel they have everything to lose and nothing to gain. Dominated by anxiety and fear, people will do whatever they can, no matter how destructive, to quell the anxiety, even finding identity, community, and purpose by becoming a white nationalist terrorist. That’s a tragic lesson from Norway, Charleston, Charlottesville, Pittsburgh, and now the horror of the Christchuch massacre. It’s the rage of white men trying to squash change with violence.
