Thanks for the post.
The great Swiss philosopher Carl Jung details the dangers of this type of psychological development for individuals and societies. When you have people who’s psyche has been tightly coupled with the abstract affairs of the state you open the door to the world of mental stress and feeling of impunity.
In a system where the governing state does not represent the concrete individual, but the individual identifies themselves with the state, personal cognitive dissonance will fester.
We must detach our psyche and collective mind from the affairs of the state so that the individual can empower their life with creative motivation and happiness.
