Merlu,

I had the same reaction when i found out.

Merlu,

Amber Heard. The hate she received during the trial Heard vs Depp was highly disproportionate. Usually, when someone is -really or allegedly- cancelled, many people lose their shit, but strangely, when she was cancelled for real, not so much people complained, while Depp was unfairly victimized. She was clearly a scapegoat for misogynistic low instincts.

Merlu,

Agree, the job is pretty merciless. People hate you whatever you do and even the most unsignificant of your mistake is used against you. If you became politician by idealism, you discover rapidly that persons involved makes you actually powerless: rival politicians, highly influencial ploutocrats, the supreme court (or equivalent), etc.

I have this impression with the US president. Despite the prestige of his position, he is actually highly powerless: most of the domains are in the hands of state governors, and if the supreme court, the senate and the house are not in his camp, he can barely do anything. It can be hard if you are really willing to apply what you promised but not being able to do so.

Merlu,

The backfire effect. This is when someone see irrefutable proofs that he's wrong, he believes more than ever that he's right.

Merlu,

Herd mentality

Any normal human being can be a bloodthirsty beast when he's a part of a group. The group effect demultiplicate the violence of their members and can lead them to acts that they would never do when isolated. Really terrifying mechanism.

Merlu,

Merlu,

When the symptoms appear, this is already too late and you know you'll suffer until you die.
