Analysis of Money From Anger, The New Phallus
Ian McCleary 1992 (Morris Plains, NJ)
Call it apathy or indifference, but if averting my eyes from the nations politics, has made me a better person for it, I will continue that way.
Fighting over who has this country,
has filled people's brains ( who watch these tv programs)
with blood like the erectile tissue found in their penis. Confirmation bias keeps them
in this cycle of behavior.
Their anger attains a type of sexual climax.
So that signs of conflict add to their pleasure, even when they know it isn't good for them. After they plateau, things take on a different nature, and they end up feeling more anxious over their lives than before.
How sad when people make careers from the abuse of people's emotions.
