When fear controls you then reason and rational thought could be lacking. Dangerous things with regard to the future happen and the future becomes a bleaker place. Do not let people use your fear to manipulate you? Pay attention. You'll notice when they are doing it. Are they trying to make you more afraid? Are they using your fear as an opportunity to ask for something from you, even if it is only consent to act?
I want to see if I can slap together some simple infographics I have floating around in my mind at the moment. They may not be awesome. I'm going to crank them out as fast as I can before I forget about them.
The above infographics have essentially happened. I suspect they are far worse than those dots indicate. It is also important to note that people sometimes qualify as more than one color as far as these labels. I am going to only use one color at a time when I do these.
From these next steps I want to show you what might be happening, and what might happen. I present it as food for thought.
The interesting thing about that is you could also divide people by whether they were Republicans or Democrats and those dots would span both sections. It seems very much like intentional divisionary tactics to destroy solidarity as far as I am concerned.
These infographics were me hoping to make people look at things a little different and think in different ways. The only dots on that chart that seem to be in a positive winning situation are the pink ones.
All of this makes me recall the following quote. I actually think of this quote by Martin Niemoller quite often.
