You've got a sauna at home?

Lack of education : History tells us what happened and how. But, people find it boring. It is true that what it is in the past must stay in the past but it still teaches so you do not make the same mistake again.

Make one main enemy/villain/ the cause of the problem (even if it is not): The most effective trick ever. (think like you are at work, you hate one colleague, you find out that another colleague hate the same colleague. You become friend.)

Make a second enemy/villain/ the cause of the problem (even if it is not): So you diffuse more problems (safe side - figure of speech.)

As one says: Divide and conquer (always works).

BUT ALWAYS a minority as it works better. You need to please the majority.

In general people are tired of ineffective politics: so they try something new and/or it resonates with them, meaning they see that it is maybe true that the problem is the example (s) given by the fascists/nazis/neonazis etc. But, they will not check if it is true as they think the politicians know what they do. Even if, if you think about it. Anyone can be a politician, you need to know how to speak, to present yourself well, to have a vision, to know how to gather people together, to lead. The rest you delegate to more competent people who know their fields.

Once the hook works, you work with the emotions, some facts (fake or not). You slightly change the narrative so it is matching your "vision", "ideology". This is where, usually, you can get them as you can double-check if it is true or not. This is where you see the true journalists at work. And through asking questions.

Example: LGBTQA+ community (quite a """""trend""""" to bash at (sarcasm)). A lot of politicians say that it is destroying the society, family, we need to protect the kids (the ultimate red flag of all) etc. One just need to ask them (politicians), the right questions. In what sense it is destroying the society? Etc, etc etc. So, you can show that what they say, their ideology is just fake, anti-human. etc. But, people do not do it or few. You can apply for each point of their speech.

(Besides, the most homophobic person is a gay in the closet. Grindr never lies!!!!!!)

Then, control, media, press etc. You slightly divide the majority so better control.

So basically, the same pattern that history teaches.

Or those who want to get in without letting people getting off first.....

Mondays

A good drink can help to get back the good mood 😀

Careful, that rant might get rebranded as a life hack for surviving the internet. 😁

Maybe the problem is that in Europe our news are mostly in local languages. So, if I post something I would need to translate. Or one would need to share something from France24 (English), BBC, Euronews (English), etc. But, the content is not as comprehensive as the national newspapers...

😃 Approved... On my side more depending who is trying to talk to me...

I think, going to sauna in the morning can be a bit hard for me... (Morning and I...) But, I should try. Thanks for the tip though

I would be in the jungle and enjoying life as a tiger.

If you want a PDF for any book, try, at least, as much as you can, to get them directly from the author, if the author is an Indie Author they will willingly do it for you or, maybe, it is available directly on their own online store.

By doing so, you are bypassing all those companies taking, as they say "a small cut". So you are sure that your money goes directly to the author and no to the "I-take-a-small-cut company". That goes also for EPUB format etc 😀

Good approach

Could be but I am afraid we, all, will not be able to see it.

The Queen from Once upon a time. She felt more and more human throughout the show.

To build up a close (the two definitions of "close") community. To speak freely (even if you have to respect the TnCs of Discord + community guidelines.)

I'd say there is, maybe, a thin line between I dont care and I hate. The core is still the same, I presume: "You do you. I do me." Just different feeling involved.

I really like the cover :) So so so cute :)

I would change the professional path, and I would stay most probably single to avoid all the energy lost in that "game".

No worries, it is time for people to see that authors are everywhere on the planet, not just in one corner 😀 If you have more. Do not hesitate 😁
