People are different, theres much overlap across everyone

Its usually people join tribes based on experience / friend groups

You tend to more easily become friends with people that agree

2018-10-04 12:39:06 UTC  

No ... YOU are different.

2018-10-04 12:39:10 UTC  

I am just the same.

2018-10-04 12:39:12 UTC  

and those might be connected to someone more radical, and they just drag in cuz on paper the left sounds morally correct

2018-10-04 12:39:31 UTC  

😃

2018-10-04 12:39:32 UTC  

Ya, idk. I don't know what else could create such emotions seemingly spanning over multiple topics, when the topics themselves don't present the emotion.

2018-10-04 12:39:48 UTC  

as well as those "fearing" the left then being more easily pushed into alt-right groups

2018-10-04 12:39:59 UTC  

the Emotions come from prolonged stress

2018-10-04 12:40:07 UTC  

remember, these people embrace the ideology 24/7

2018-10-04 12:40:20 UTC  

Topics themselves never present emotion.

2018-10-04 12:40:20 UTC  

they don't relax

distraction is weakness, and isn't supportive of victims

2018-10-04 12:40:38 UTC  

If you actively seek out horror in every detail

2018-10-04 12:40:39 UTC  

You always project some kind of meaning on it.

2018-10-04 12:40:42 UTC  

you'll be consumed by it

2018-10-04 12:40:50 UTC  

As for the left, they are telling you what emotions they are projecting.

2018-10-04 12:41:09 UTC  

It's like a forum or discussion board. Some people you can tell are wanting to discuss and pick at a topic. Others are emotional and you get the feeling they are just trying to win. Win what, idk. Imaginary cookies or something...

2018-10-04 12:41:26 UTC  

Fear of the predatory male, fear of right wing authoritarianism, smug superiority, and so forth.

2018-10-04 12:41:48 UTC  

queue scribble 😄 who is just here to be angry

2018-10-04 12:42:09 UTC  

Ah, then you might as well ask why people get upset over words.

2018-10-04 12:42:14 UTC  

Emotions make up everything people do though. Very few people can remove emotion from everything they encounter. I think people just need to do a better job being aware of when they're having an emotional bias

2018-10-04 12:42:25 UTC  

Why is winning an argument satisfying and losing one feels bad?

2018-10-04 12:42:45 UTC  

Much of our nervous system reacts to a verbal altercation in ways similar to physical ones.

2018-10-04 12:42:56 UTC  

I just don't think that's it. It might be some factor for each issue, but I don't think it's a commanlity or the primary factor.

2018-10-04 12:42:58 UTC  

Our nervous system can only project onto the situation.

2018-10-04 12:43:09 UTC  

well its just an infinite cycle

"Oh theres predatory males about"
"This man opens the door for me? What could he want with that! he must be a predatory male!"
"Oh why can't men be nice to me instead?"

And men are told its nice to be friendly and hold open a door etc

2018-10-04 12:43:10 UTC  

It doesn't really comprehend what is going on on a very rational level.

2018-10-04 12:43:30 UTC  

@Paradox Well you seem to not have the issue so maybe you just can't sympathize with it as a concept?

2018-10-04 12:43:46 UTC  

When we have an angry Internet debate, our blood pressure rises and many of the same fight responses kick into action as if we were confronted on the street. Does that make sense? Yes and no.

2018-10-04 12:44:06 UTC  

Also, many "leftists" are on anti-anxiety meds etc

2018-10-04 12:44:07 UTC  

From a rational point of view it makes no sense. From an evolutionary point of view it makes perfect sense.

2018-10-04 12:44:10 UTC  

which reks their brain

2018-10-04 12:44:29 UTC  

Oh, I believe I have agreed it's a thing. What that thing is is what I am thinking about.

2018-10-04 12:45:00 UTC  

The thing it is about is often a threat narrative.

2018-10-04 12:45:17 UTC  

For women, who tend to be more anxious, it is often a threat to safety.

2018-10-04 12:45:43 UTC  

That is why a lot of rhetoric that is anti-male is centered around predation.

2018-10-04 12:46:14 UTC  

If you think that is very hypothetical and indirect - yes, because it is.

2018-10-04 12:46:43 UTC  

But most of our emotions are. When you cry during a movie, you are crying at a set of pixels. Does that make sense?

2018-10-04 12:46:44 UTC  

So how long has this server been in existence

2018-10-04 12:47:17 UTC  

I g2g

2018-10-04 12:47:19 UTC  

sorry

2018-10-04 12:47:28 UTC  

i'll check back later.
