disinhibition

Pro-democracy Americans and others who believe in fundamental human decency need to steel themselves for the emotional rollercoaster that lies ahead and the pull of mass disinhibition that is growing every day.

The American people appear to be vacillating between learned helplessness and mass disinhibition.

During an interview about the 2024 election, a rabbi offered the wisdom that to get through these tough times here in America with all the pain, dread, fear, sorrow, loss, terror and collective disinhibition we are seeing, we are going to need to build our own inner Noah’s Ark. As bad as today is, it is good as compared to what comes next.

If America is like other societies that have succumbed to autocracy and authoritarianism, there will be mass disinhibition.

“Disinhibition” is a word that has recently migrated from the lexicon of psychology into that of American politics.
