yes, i agree with you. When people realize you're not responding in an overly emotional manner, they get mad. It's almost like rational thought is discouraged in mainstream thought.....I think this is an effect of the manipulative media....it's easier to control people when they are agitated.

I agree. I'd hypothesize that the internet democratized information enough that the media could no be longer profitable by reporting unbiased fact. That could now be gotten for free online.
So, the entire mainstream media converted to manufacturing outrage. They learned that an article gets more clicks, and more money, if it has an incendiary title, or extreme claims. Think of it as the "Buzzfeed-ification" of the media. The more anger you stir up in your demographic towards some other identity group, the faster they will click your article, and comment, and retweet.
Partisan and intellectually dishonest articles have replaced any attempt at journalistic integrity. Lies have evolved from the falsifying of facts, to lies of omission and cherry-picking quotes disingenuously.
If you aren't on "their" side, you are against them. That is why objectivity is now dangerous. Join the bandwagon or be run over.
yeah, good points.I agree with you!
I have always thought that when they realize you're not responding emotionally they feel abandoned and alone because I was not in emotional land with them. I usually see in my mind's eye the horse behind the cart struggling to make progress. This makes me smile and hide my face so as not to harm them. lol ALOHA!!!
