To narrow it down, it has to be something you will not forgive a country for doing for the rest of your life. Alternatively, you can feel something in great disdain towards the whole world, like what you see universally done or know of.
Mine would be and I strongly use this word because of the practice associated to it, but, the raping of information.
And I say that because it is astonishingly appalling just how distorted information has gotten. With how modern day journalism has been to even half-baked Wikipedia articles that aren’t detailed. Even historical accounts aren’t entirely safe because they just get revised and re-written at a moment’s notice to fit particular narratives or perspectives of others.
The lines of lies and truths are completely blurred, only registered by particular contexts or levels of convenience. It burns my mind up to think some of the time, as to what I should take in for information that isn’t just for a purpose of study. I’m so jaded towards anything, I take everything projected with contempt.
Well it’s evolved from that point now.
It’s about pressing the right buttons. And we’ve seen that in complete demonstration. When people were complaining, of all things, about egg prices. Guess what some candidates focused on? Egg prices and how they’ll promise to lower them, despite having no understanding or care as to why they were high in price to begin with.
So if you press that button to that crowd, you’ll get the idiocy of that crowd to go for you. And this applies to generally any issue from any party.
yes, but i’m talking even more generally. like… even in your personal social situations… telling people what they want to hear and making them feel heard is how you win them over. it’s also why ‘charming’ people tend to be highly manipulative, because this is how they charm people. and most people can’t see past the superficiality of the interactions, because well, they are superficial people.
you alienate them when you try to tell them things they don’t want to hear or that might involve them to think or assess their biases. if you tell them real reasons for egg price changes you will confuse them because the explanation will be too complex for them to process because they have no understanding of economics, let alone agricultural economics, and they will just think you’re a jerk.
like if your mom complain to you about her neighbors, she doesn’t want you to tell her maybe there is a misunderstanding, she wants you to just tell her they are jerks and she’s the victim in the situation. she wants you to validate her grievances, not dismiss them or mitigate them.
