Abstract

CORREA, Fernanda Silveira. The paths of hatred in civilization proposed by Freud and how they are currently present in Brazil. Nat. hum. [online]. 2020, vol.22, n.2, pp. 14-43. ISSN 1517-2430.

This article seeks to analyze the most cruel aspect of the Bolsonaro phenomenon, legitimized by the population: indifference to genocide imposed on the poorest population in the country, through the government's neglect to take steps that could mitigate the pandemic. Through the analysis of the disillusion that this indifference revealed, we try to show the three figures of resentment manifested in the government's support and actions: a severe moralist superego; the psychology of the masses, that is, the hatred of different, intensified by racism; and, finally, unconditional submission and self-sacrifice. Three constituent figures of the children's psychology on the primitive horde, described by Freud in Overview of transference neuroses. The main issue addressed in the article, however, is the relationship of indifference to genocide and Brazilian racism, understood in its structural, historical and current dimension.

Keywords : Superego; Mass psychology; Submission; Racism; Psychoanalysis.
