but I know that there are violent people out there that do
I have to quote myself here because I noticed that I fell into a trap of programmed thinking...
Violence is neither good nor bad. it's just a tool that can be used for either purpose.
These kinds of words that come without context modifiers....
Words like tolerance.... You have to ask the question, tolerant of what? and to what extreme?
Sociologists take words that in context carry strong emotions because in that context it represents something that means something important to someone or effects them strongly.
They want these strong emotions roused up because they want people thinking with their feelings instead of with their brains.
When you want to control people or bring them to your agenda you can either appeal to their intellect and their emotions.
The people who agree with you are already won over
The people who disagree with you, how do you win them over?
By getting the thinking out if the picture.
You take words they feel strongly about and you use them without context so you now have an emotionally stirred up and impressionable subject to preach to.
Take conservative or liberal
Conservation of what? Liberal how?
Strong words with emotional connections because they mean something to someone but you use them without the meanings so you can harvest the emotional momentum they inspire to bend the person to your agenda.
I don't have a fully developed way of talking about this thing I've discovered and how it is used but I'm beginning to see it now when it is being used.
When I see words being used that inspire strong emotions I now look to see if any context is provided with their use.
If not, I know that I am now observing an incident of social engineering.
Often times I only learn it's social engineering after I fell for it and already found myself repeating the brainwash.
Take a look at the word violence next time you see it or use it.
Ask yourself "where is the context"?
Is the speaker making a case against the use of violence to commit evil?
Is the speaker making a case for the use of violence to stop evil?
Or is the speaker taking advantage of your fear and hatred of violence for evil to get you to abandon your belief in using violence to stop evil so that the speaker may be secure in committing evil?
