... People get mad when public leaders react.

It's like no one likes it when anyone does their job.

It's because they try to capitalize on it or shift the rightful focus to fit their agenda. It is a lack of modesty in the face of tragedy. This is increasingly applicable to far too many politicians.

The issue is they aren't doing their job, they're giving the easy, politically advantageous, dishonest answers.

People want one of those altruistic types who seems honest. If you don't have charisma it's harder to lie, and most don't.

But don't cry for them. The more angry and cynical people get, they less they vote or try to do anything about it, then you get a new status quo.

You never let a serious crisis go to waste. And what I mean by that it's an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before.
Rahm Emanuel


That's what pisses people off, right there. Only when someone you don't like is doing it, though. Everyone's apparently blind to their own side doing it, which is how they got to power in the first place.

It's human nature, not a modern invention. I'd suspect people been doing this since the Pharaohs.

I was talking about a trend in modern politics, not giving you an abridged version of Braudel. And of course it's human nature, anything humans do is human nature, it's not unfair to expect the scripted responses of our leaders to aspire to better. Whether it's practical in a democracy with the media we have is another question I guess. But we can still be mad at parts of the whole fucked equation.

And I gave a scripted response to the scripted response.

Bam. No free will in forum conversations or something.

I always find it to be a shakey argument when people appeal to the whole 'human nature' angle, given that that is not at all ironclad, or even well defined, by actual experts in the field. It's very much up in the air at the moment.

It didn't seem to be human nature for the 200,000 or so years before we started farming.

Could've been. I can imagine a circumstance where Glug kills Ug, causing the Ug family to convince the rest of the tribe they need to murder the entire Glug family.
