RE: Emotional Exploitation: A Tool of Sales and Propaganda
"If we see that someone wants us to be angry about a thing, at a person, or group, they may have other motivations and it is not to our benefit to jump on board with their war, ban, regulation, or whatever until it has undergone due examination and has been viewed in a larger context with a cold and unfeeling eye."

It's easier to jump on the band wagon and help play the music to crush the "other." By the way, check this out: U.S. sanctions to shut down Empire Files
Very true. It takes a lot of self-control to do that and even if you practice it is still very easy to slip back into reacting based on our emotions.
