Okay, I’ll start with that one then. I’m skeptical of “Just turn off the TV” perspectives but if he’s got some new angles then I’m still open.
Weirdly enough I’ve found out that there’s a certain flavor of “annoying” that a person can be that activates most people like the Manchurian candidate. Or at least Americans, leaving my home country for the first time kind of showed me some perspective on it.
Yeah I get ya, I’ll refrain from further proselytizing and let you form your own opinion.
I find that annoying bit of self-righteousness is assuaged by people practicing what they preach and not sitting back and pointing out the flaws of other.
You don’t have to, it’s sound advice for most people in most situations. But actually, what do you mean? Like I can minimize my own annoyance or I can be less annoying to others?
Oh no, not at all. I meant me 😂 I activate other Americans’ instant kill routines.
I probably wouldn’t exist well in a space with moralists but I definitely fill my free time and mental real estate with them. Whether or not I actually personally subscribe to an ideaology, it’s kind of all worth learning and also makes my intrusive thoughts go quiet.
Ah I see. Yeah it can be very polarizing especially if your message goes against the grain of what people convinced themselves (or sometimes media) of.
Imho always good to try out differences on perspective, just to see how that would make sense. I feel that many people are very defensive out of being scared and insecure, yet wanting to come across like they are not.

Oh no I meant about moralistic people, amongst whom Bregman. They can come across a bit annoying, and I thought you were referring to that.

For sure! That’s kind of my mode for experiencing the world.
