>>Let us then define anger as a longing, accompanied by pain, for a real or apparent revenge for a real or apparent slight... the angry man must always be angry with a particular individual... because this individual has done, or was on the point of doing, something against him or one of his friends; and lastly, anger is always accompanied by a certain pleasure, due to the hope of revenge to come.<<

I think this is a significant point: that anger is always personal and directed at a particular individual (real or imagined). People are never angry at an idea or a group of people, but at some personal slight or threat, enacted by some person. That is why anger is best induced through scapegoating (to give people a target for their anger) and assigning blame to individuals or caricatures of individuals.
