Karnage and 248 others on Nostr: If you find yourself constantly outraged at some thing that happened or the news, or ...
If you find yourself constantly outraged at some thing that happened or the news, or what someone said, then they have you exactly where they want you - under their control.
Outrage is a powerful form of control. When you're angry, they've got your attention, and they can manipulate it. The provocateur is in the spotlight, as if important.
When you ignore them, they are powerless.
The instinct is to throw more outrage at the thing that triggers you, whereas the opposite action is more effective - ignoring the thing entirely.
