- mdp2021 3y agoTogether with the short list of ghastly examples, the denounce is important against a crawling spirit of "must-do-something-anything-ism". (I hope I will find a better term.) There exist individuals that (sometimes openly) get gratification by seeing somebody "just take action" - even if it is bad action, damaging. They find it reassuring. And there exist individuals that just love a "loud voice", again for emotional gratification (independently of the content). "Pornophony". Clearly, education is failing in having this individuals overcome emotional instances towards lucidity. And this disposition is a powerful base for populists.
