RULE 9: “The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself.”
Imagination and ego can dream up many more consequences than any activist. (Perception is reality. Large organizations always prepare a worst-case scenario, something that may be furthest from the activists’ minds. The upshot is that the organization will expend enormous time and energy, creating in its own collective mind the direst of conclusions. The possibilities can easily poison the mind and result in demoralization.)
I like that 1 personally.
Sadly Herd mentality, they think there right because 90% of the population are scared and stupid and think the same as them, irrationally out of FEAR, but they'll never see this.
GF, around the 90%, becomes 1 of the 90% to fit in, even though she knows it's all bullshit and what really should be happening.
Never been 1 to fit in, warrior class
