Prickly City by Scott Stantis for March 14, 2023

I’ve found that the people who tell others how to run their lives have the most chaos.

Pretty much every species follow the leader…not the brightest trait

It’s because when they talk to God, He tells them to tell other people what to do.

Evolution made us hierarchical in our group dynamic. But we were also made for much smaller groups, until we had a cognitive revolution where thru narrative large groups could believe they are part of larger groups or purposes. That’s when we really got destructive.

Winslow, now you have confirmation

Control is very closely tied to that big challenge for our aging, right-wing populist population, change. The changes occurring in our country, necessary changes, trigger these snowflakes to take increasingly irrational measures, creating an environment where Fox is considered a valid news source, joining Q Anon, converting a whole party to become the GQP, believing an obviously fair election was stolen, justifying an insurrection, all more strident attempts to control their world……………………………………does that about cover it, Stanti?:

Also , why do people like to tell other people what to think ?

Talking about control, the GOP’s madman still thinks he’s in control.

Trump falsely says Mike Pence is to ‘blame’ for violence on January 6

Donald Trump, the one-term ex-president whose actions led to the deadly January 6, 2021 insurrection, says his vice president is actually the one to blame for the violence that day.“Had he sent the votes back to the legislators," Trump said, referring to Mike Pence, "they wouldn’t have had a problem with Jan. 6.”

Ego. Most people crave status.
