- When society delegitimizes its heroes, resentful youth may adopt the most transgressive figures left standing.

- Nostalgia and belonging explain political sentimental attachments that mere rationalism misses.
- Young people seek a soulful home, not just efficient institutions, and loss of that soul fuels political rage.
