https://substack.com/inbox/post/215264668
In 1982, psychologist Robert Wicklund at the University of Texas at Austin, along with his colleague Peter Gollwitzer, published research on what happens when people feel a gap between who they are and who they want to be.
They were studying what they called self-defining goals. These are not ordinary goals like losing weight or learning to cook. These are identity goals. The kind of person you want to be at your core. Strong. Intelligent. Masculine. Patriotic. Moral. Successful. The things that form the foundation of how you see yourself and how you want others to see you.
Wicklund and Gollwitzer found that when people feel incomplete in a self-defining area, they do not respond by doing the work required to close the gap. They respond by acquiring symbols that represent the identity they have not earned.
They called it symbolic self-completion.
A person who wants to be seen as masculine but doesn’t feel masculine will buy the boots, the truck, the gear. A person who wants to be seen as intelligent but hasn’t done the work will buy the books, share the quotes, display the credentials of other people. A person who wants to be seen as tough but knows they are not will put a skull decal on their vehicle and a tactical flashlight on their belt.
None of those symbols make the person more masculine, more intelligent, or more tough. But the brain doesn’t care. The symbol fills the gap temporarily. It provides a shortcut to the feeling of being complete without requiring any of the effort that actual completeness demands.
Wicklund found that the bigger the gap between who you are and who you want to be, the more aggressively you pursue the symbols. The louder the costume gets. The more flags, the more stickers, the more hats, the more yard signs. The volume is not a measure of commitment. It is a measure of the gap.

With #humanitarian #catastrophes unfolding on several continents,
the response of the #wealthy #world has been to 💥demand tighter borders and higher fences.⚠️There is no blockbuster charity single raising money for starving refugees from the civil war raging in Sudan.
🆘And now, the cruel taunts come not just from schoolyard bullies and cranks on the political fringes, but from the lips of a man who stood on the presidential debate stage on Tuesday -- a former president who once again has a coin-flip shot at regaining the most powerful office in the world.And so I suppose I shouldn’t have been surprised by that lowest of moments at the debate,
when Donald Trump repeated a vile, baseless claim that Haitian immigrants were killing and eating household pets in Springfield, Ohio.This allegation appears to stem from viral social media posts and statements at public meetings.
It was picked up by some of the most rancid figures at the #fringe of the #MAGA-verse,
then quickly hopscotched from there to a social media post by Trump’s running mate, JD #Vance,
and finally to the debate stage, sputtered by #Trump himself.There is something particularly #insidious about this claim,
uttered at this time, from that stage.
#Food and #pets are, to use a Freudian term, highly overdetermined #symbols in our political life.They are capable of receiving and holding a multiplicity of very potent meanings, transmitting deep messages about #identity and #belonging.
You can tell how powerful this type of slur is by how quickly and vociferously it has animated so many on the right.
Figures who flirt with the mainstream have eagerly jumped into the fray.
The conservative culture warrior #Christopher #Rufo has offered a $5,000 bounty for anyone who can find proof that a Haitian immigrant had in fact eaten a cat.
It is not hard to imagine how this could quickly escalate into #vigilante #violence against Haitians in America.
On Thursday, city officials in Springfield, most of whom have pushed back against the false allegations, said they had received #bomb #threats, prompting the evacuation of city buildings.
MAGA bigotry is far more #sinister and #dangerous than weird.
And disbelieving laughter could,
I fear, blind us to moments like this, when truly unacceptable lines are crossed
