Ideology/opinions/self interest aside - my fear is that the interventions later lead to some very undesirable outcomes... pitchforks, revolution...maybe even a catastrophic disorderly liquidation whereby intervention won’t make a difference. I’m not predicting anything FYI.

I’ve become dispassionate about all this from an ideological perspective - it once made me all mad, but it’s not like there’s anything I could do, and the victim mentality didn’t get me anywhere. Focusing on WHAT IS , not necessarily liking it, helped free me from that burden.

So the fears I express are byproduct of dispassionate observation. People get mad. Anger isn’t necessarily a cognitive phenomenon. And even if it begans as such, anger can morph and manifest into non cognitive forms. Misallocated rage is a dangerous and powerful phenomenon.

Anger can dissipate and I think that’s the hopes and prayers of everyone. But sometimes it doesn’t. Or it may seem to but remains dormant/latent... such that it doesn’t come out until, say, a presidential election. Anger is chaotic and subsequent behaviors are unpredictable.

So I’m neither saying “this won’t end well”, nor am I saying “it will all work out”. What I am saying: if collective anger grow and swells over time, without attempting to diffuse it (and whether are not the anger is justified! Again, anger is not a cognitive phenomenon) ...

Last thing on anger, and anger directed at “they”: I was once angry at the system, and it didn’t get me anywhere in life.. it just made me bitter, and feel sorry for myself. I think I subconsciously loathed myself. Fortunately, I did not stay that way. So what changed?

It took some time. Time can heal wounds. I forgave myself, stopped blaming the system, and focused on the things I could change. I eventually redirected that anger and passion toward productive activities. The best revenge is living life to the fullest... Happy Easter.
