The Psychology Behind Political Violence Political life carries an appetite for violence beneath the surface. A shooter leaves a manifesto; supporters celebrate; online strangers justify killing over insults, misgendering, and fantasies of execution. We’re told these are separate phenomena—different ideologies, grievances, causes—but they’re deeply connected. The murderer, the celebrant, and the online fantasist share one conviction: blood will build a better world. We often assume ideology comes first, violence second—radicalization infecting an otherwise ordinary person. But corrupted people may seek ideologies that rationalize what they already want to believe. Feeling comes first; philosophy follows. Nietzsche called this *ressentiment*: not ordinary anger, but enduring resentment rooted in surrendered agency and perpetual victimhood. Ressentiment is creative: it turns grievance into virtue and revenge into justice. That’s why movements can sound humanitarian while obsessing over enemies. They promise liberation but focus on who must be eliminated; they call violence self-defense while celebrating destruction. Notice the imbalance: energy goes to identifying who deserves punishment, not to explaining how their better society would work. This is the difference between genuine grievance and pathological ressentiment. Genuine grievance seeks repair; ressentiment seeks subtraction. Its “solutions” are fantasies of punishment—heads cut off, privilege liquidated, wrong pronouns punished. These aren’t coherent doctrines of stability; they’re rationalizations for resentment. Ressentiment also despises self-improvement because it requires admitting agency. Its worldview depends on locating suffering outside oneself. The deepest enemy of these movements, then, is not any specific ideology. It is agency itself.
The article advocates for the necessity of a Right to Know alongside the Right to Repair, as consumers and organizations often lack sufficient knowledge, skills, or resources to maintain and repair the value of their products, leading valuable items to be regarded as waste too quickly instead of being sustainably reused.

The Hungarian Paks plant is Soviet technology so repairs and maintenance require Russian assistance. The new Magyar government has made anti-Russian noises and it now looks like they’re going to get no assistance if the plant is damaged by the shutdown. 🇭🇺 #Paks #Hungary #EnergyCrisis #HU #RU

36% of all processed water leaks from pipes. Uisce Éireann was fined €20m for failing to repair pipes. Towns are without water & suffer outages. UÉ have given themselves pay rises. (translated)
One should offer a cautious welcome to this statement👍It's a promise by Kyiv to start repairing relations with Poland and improve image of 🇺🇦 in 🇵🇱, which have been senselessly damaged in a cynical manner by @ZelenskyyUa and his people. Let's hope that real deeds follow soon.👇 #Ukraina #Polsko #Zelenskyy #UA #PL
Aging LA infrastructure, water main breaks. Fine. This can happen. Why it took 4+ hours to shut the water off is wild though. Now watch how long it takes for the city to repair the sinkhole on Sunset, one of the busiest streets in America. Few comps below: https://t.co/JrBZyGtcst #LADrought #Infrastructure #WaterCrisis #US

The EU announced that it will spend €8.3 million to set up “regional hubs” tasked with monitoring and repairing subsea cables, in the latest move since the Commission decided to tackle alleged sabotage from Russian vessels in the Baltic. #EUSecurity #SubseaCables #BalticProtection #EU #RU
With these first regional hubs and dedicated investment in repair capabilities, Europe is moving from concern to action: strengthening our ability to detect threats, respond more rapidly, and act collectively when our critical infrastructure is at risk. #CyberSecurity #Infrastructure #EUAction #EU
We are allocating €5.8M to establish the first two Regional Cable Hubs in Baltic & Mediterranean Seas, while launching a €40M call to strengthen Europe’s capacity to repair submarine communication cables. This is Europe investing in its security, resilience & tech sovereignty. https://t.co/eD8mN6Xbs0 #CableHubs #TechSovereignty #EUInvestment #EE #LV #LT #MT #ES #IT #FR #GR #CY
The EU directive Right to Repair, which Poland must implement by July 31, 2026, will change the electronics and home appliances market. For companies, this means new obligations towards customers and the necessity to restructure business models based on replacement rather than repair. (translated)
Satellite images reveal that over 50 Iranian military bases, including key facilities of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, have been damaged by US-Israeli airstrikes since the war began, despite Iran's ongoing repair efforts amid a fragile ceasefire and the US's assertions of military dominance over Iranian forces. #IranWar #USStrikes #MilitaryConflict
Astronauts on the International Space Station (ISS) were ordered to take shelter in the docked SpaceX shuttle Dragon due to increasing air leaks during a repair attempt in the Russian segment of the station, though they later returned to the ISS after the situation was deemed safe. #Astronauts #ISS #SpaceStation
