Re: Documentary - The Brain Washing of My Dad

I feel like we all have people like this in our families. My late Grandma used to listen to Limbaugh religiously and I never understood why anyone would want to sit and listen to some dude rant and rave and scream and yell about how much he hated one group of people or another. She was otherwise a very kind person if a little weak willed. She wasn't even big into church or religious stuff.

I think part of it is that they fall into it somehow, get freaked out by all the negative stuff they're hearing and then get addicted to the rush of someone yelling at the top of their lungs about those fears. It really feeds into the side of human nature that likes to cast certain groups of people as "other".

It's like there's just a side of human nature that likes to be scared of "the other" and demonize them. And it's not even just humans. You also see this behavior in chimpanzees directed at other chimpanzees they consider "other". I don't want to say it's biological but it's easily triggered in some people more than others. And unfortunately, there are a lot of gullible and vulnerable people who fall prey to it. Plus it's hard to get away from because fear makes money.
