From The New Yorker, cartoonist Erika Sjule
Two people sit at a diner table. One is drinking a soda nervously. The other is pounding their fist on the table while exclaiming: "I'm so disgusted with people who aren't speaking up right now! But they better have flawlessly curated statements when they do- unless they're ignorant on the issue, in which case they better educate themselves- but also they're too late."

People going... "Hey buddy, let me tell you something... My daddy died for that flag!"   Really? I bought mine, you know they sell them in K-mart, three bucks. "He died in the Korean war for that flag."  Well want a coincidence! Mine was made in Korea! He didn't die for a fucking flag, it's just a piece of cloth, he died for what the flag represents and that is the freedom to burn the fucking flag - Bill Hicks

From Parable of the Talents
Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought. To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears. To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool. To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen. To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies. To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery. ~Octavia Butler

Fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD) is a manipulative propaganda tactic used in technology sales, marketing, public relations, politics, polling, and cults. FUD is generally a strategy to influence perception by disseminating negative and dubious or false information and is a manifestation of the appeal to fear. In public policy, a similar concept has been referred to as manufactured uncertainty, which involves casting doubt on academic findings, exaggerating their claimed imperfections.[1] A manufactured controversy (sometimes shortened to manufactroversy) is a contrived disagreement, typically motivated by profit or ideology, designed to create public confusion concerning an issue about which there is no substantial academic dispute.[

To get the public to adopt progressive moral positions you have to activate progressive moral thought in them by openly—and constantly—stressing morality, not just the interests of demographic groups. Focusing on interests rather than empathy plays into the hands of conservatives in many ways: It allows them to criticize as “special interests” the groups whose interests are served. It angers people in demographic groups whose interests are not being served, and gives conservatives an opportunity to look moral, rather than just playing partisan politics. It fails to even state the progressive moral vision of empathy and responsibility, protection and empowerment. It gives support to the conservative version of the “free market” as the moral pursuit of self-interest that helps us all, because it activates in people’s brains the idea of the morality of pursuing interests through the market. — The Political Mind: A Cognitive Scientist's Guide to Your Brain and Its Politics

I hadn't played with features here much, but here's one for your posts. Remember that nothing is private online, but it may deflect attention from jerks.
