I think this is why Orwell put the "two-minute hate" into Nineteen
Eighty Four. Chuck Palahniuk agrees. It is after all a quite strange
device within the story. Otherwise Emmanuel Goldstein is a standard
"outsider/other" hate figure to focus the alienated minds into war
ritual, but the chanting takes on a stronger meaning in Orwell's story
akin to something from Conrad's Heart of Darkness (Apocalypse Now).
Then there are the outbursts of Howard Beale in Chayefsky's 1976
Network.... "Open the window and scream - I'm as mad as hell and I'm
not going to take it any more".
There is a thing, "primal scream therapy" (Arthur Janov) known to have
outstanding effects for these kinds of neuroses, but it's somewhat
discredited, perhaps because it reveals socially uncomfortable truths.
I'm lucky enough to live in a place where one can yomp out a few miles
and shout at the hills and the sea.
EDIT: Forgot to address the point of how tics astem from blocked
affect, but I expect many of you will make that connection naturally.
