George Carlin: Thank you ⭐️
Hanlon's razor: New to me, but wonderful.
A lot of people seem to run around with a reservoir of anger. Then a demagogue comes along, or an ideology, or a religion, that justifies the anger and gives the angry a target. People in this state are not susceptible to rational argument. They enjoy their anger. It gives them not only focus, but a group identity, which many of them lack.
Isn't that what happens in a mob? Or a public execution?
