Conservative anger versus liberal anger.

[Tobin S.]

Conservative anger manifests itself as racism, sexism, homophobia, and xenophobia- nasty shit that truly hurts people. Liberal anger manifests itself as getting drunk on craft beer, contacting your representatives in Congress, nagging the spouse and kids, and contemptuously correcting people's spelling on the internet.

Liberal anger is actually rooted in love and a desire to make the world a better place. We see how much better things could be and it breaks our hearts because it isn't that way. Conservative anger is rooted in hatred and a desire to destroy something or someone.

1. Righteous, liberal anger usually has a basis of fact and rationality.

Typical not true of right-wing anger, much of which is based on irrational religious and primitive emotional triggers.

Most wingnuts I know have a dangerously short fuse and can easily be triggered into a rage.

2. All anger arises out of fear

5. This!!!!!!!!!!!

Been saying it for years... All anger is fear.
The human soul, mind, or spirit (psyche) can be broken down into three indivisible entities: Fear, indifference and humility. We can exist in only one of these states at a time.
Personally, I strive for humility.

6. Greed, Hatred & Delusion.....causes of suffering

a liberal uses anger to defend themselves
there will always be fear, we have to deal with it daily
