We are on the ragged bleeding edge ALL of the time, not a headline, meme, social media post or anything that doesn’t use marketing tactics to get eyes on. It is all emotional warfare that drives our emotions up to get a response from engagement to enragement. The same topics discussed today are more emotionally charged than years gone by, marketing psychology drives people into their own echo chambers that then drive their emotions higher to get views, time on page, and engagement in order to up the cost of advertising. Journalism used to be about integrity and the truth, it is now just a money maker, truth be damned. This has led to there being two RAGING sides to everything. My side and my ENEMY’S, not an opposing side or viewpoint anymore, if you don’t agree with me about EVERYTHING, you are my mortal enemy and should have your rights taken away and your opinions and feelings vilified FOR ETERNITY. So your feelings are VERY valid, it is the manipulation of your feelings at every turn that makes us all a little anxious, a little angry, and a little despairing at the cognitive dissonance caused by all of the counter-messaging.
