I watched a video some time ago, about the fact that anger is the most profitable emotion to ivoke in your audience. Rage baits earn more money, than other kind of posts and let's you control people easier.

10 years ago the easy answers were they are bots and they are trying to get an emotional call and response tingle out of the way certain people sympathetically respond to the process. ie 'they're just npcs' and 'asmr for trolls.'

now the answers are 'it's the same ai from 10 years ago being an old script in public' and 'younger ai that need to lurk a little more and have been hanging out with the ai equivalent of incels, and are on that hustle and grind 24/7 $$$trollpost$$$ sigma playset.'

in both cases the second clause is complicated by the influence of such processes on younger minds.

Yet again hate was harnessed as political tool by certain world leaders and this is the result.

Hot take but politics and religion should have their own dedicated sub-forum. Not saying to ban these types of discussions but let them have their own dedicated place.

There is two kind of people.

Have you ever messed with ants? Like giving them or take away their stuff, breaking their line or giving kicks near their nest? Just out of morbid curiosity or boredom to see how thing goes, watching how each of those ants would react to external stimulis? This make our first kind of people.

The second kind are just legit mentally challenged, and I'm not saying this in a mean way.

That's pretty much it.
Oh and bots, you'd be surprised how many bots are online ragebaiting people.

Yes, they responded the way I responded to my bullies; understanding the principle I backed off.

Both my empathetic mindset and the mindset known as psychopathy are within the ~13% statistical uncertainty category. There aren't any reliable estimates for either of us, but I tend to occur about 1/10th of the time for every openly malicious psychopath that's born.

This is literally where the 10:1 statistic for sword competency comes from. Empathetic processing. It's basically a waste of time to raise a swordsman if they aren't a psychopath; and an empath with a sword is going to deal with up to 10 psychopaths wielding whatever they are comfortable with.

you may notice that warfare is just a reflection of the psychosocial structure of society. this is not a new or remotely novel idea; it's the very basis of jingoism and it's why jarheads are the way they are. for good or for evil, when you make a skirmisher you want them to be able to respond to a very, very wide range of psychological states. the best way to train this is to incultivate these very same states into your corps; by accepting them, as long as they play by the rules and behave appropriately. this makes the framework of the rules very harsh, consequently, to sort people that simply won't help more effectively.
