from Diary 2024-04-26 People who want to talk about politics.
takuramix Iāve had more than a few experiences where I happily respond to someone who wants to talk politics and they give me a momentary look of disgustā¦ In such cases, when we start a serious discussion, almost 100% of the time, the other side tries to dye our side with their argumentā¦ Even a dull person like me would realize that. āOh, this is not what I want to talk politics about.ā Iām sorryā¦
takuramix ā¦ the other party wants āI want to confirm myself as the chosen people to teach and lead the fools who have no interest in talking politics.ā or some other distorted sense of superiority. āBow down to my teachings! But you fools will never understand!ā Itās like a kind of āIām specialā kind of thing, where the person wants to feel special by being rejected.
takuramix ā¦So when we try to talk about politics with each other in a gruff way, these people look bad for a moment. āHuh? If someone is more willing to talk about politics than you are, you canāt mount themā¦ā I guess thatās what they really want. But you know, politics is interesting, so I donāt think thereās any reason to avoid it.
takuramix ā¦People who go around denigrating personalities and such just because they have a different opinion, no matter what the topic is, even if itās not politics, are the kind of people who do that. Iām not sure if itās about politics or not, but I donāt think it matters.
takuramix ā¦By the way, I meet several times a year with Communist Party supporters who donāt agree with me every time, I meet with supporters of the Communist Party several times a year, but no matter how much our opinions clash and our incompatibility becomes obvious, we always end up seeing each other again. Thatās the way it is. It is natural to have differences of opinion, and it is human to make mistakes at times.
If you have some specific ideal you want to achieve, youāre going to want to talk to someone who can help you achieve it. So anyone who says, āLetās talk politics,ā is someone whose behavior is beneficial (i.e., the goal is to get people to talk).
- Increase only when it is more beneficial to increase.
- Donāt persuade people you donāt need to persuade.
