It’s obvious that even the brightest minds can be impaired by sadly arrested emotional development.
When arguments become apparent projections of one’s own faults onto others, reason is lost and civil discussion won’t survive the intemperate egocentricity and offense taken by the emotionally immature.
That’s when rational, objective and cool reasoning descends into a heated, defensive, ugly diatribe.
Much like les gilets jaunes display multiple motivations within their common cause and street protests there are likely many causal factors forming an individual’s social maladjustment and intolerance of authority – especially when the social misfit’s antiestablishment attitude is ingrained from childhood abuse or similar rejection by authority figures during formative, frustrated development stages in life.
The difference is that the yellow vested victims of tyranny in France can intelligently explain anger with Macron and the unfair impositions of that rule to justify their opposition, while the emotionally damaged and deranged dissident may not consciously be able to recognize, understand or articulate a constant inner anger with the world generally and with so many opponents and enemies specifically. Instead, the social maladjustment manifests as mean and mendacious misrepresentation of others.
It would be a welcomed change to return to civil and respectful interactions and discussions here without the defensively deranged diatribes and vitriol.
