Right or wrong I will not follow anyone who is addicted to anger. His rage turns me off and I am leery of those who adopt it. Are our present circumstances maddening and anger inducing? Yes. But the difference is that rage is AJ's ONLY reaction to EVERYTHING. Unhealthy. Unproductive.
I am NOT talking about pacification. I am talking about AJ's anger being stuck in the ON position non-stop. Yes, anger is like a warning light on our dashboard. It is there to warn us that something is not right. It is a prompt to seek knowledge and take action. It is NOT a permanent attitude such as AJ has.
Sorry, I misinterpreted your original comment. I'm actually on the same page with you as far as Alex Jones goes. I think he makes a valid point in this video, but in general I don't take him seriously because he gives off a false sense of outrage.
Anger as a "prompt to seek knowledge and take action" is a very succinct way of putting it.
I lost a good friend who adopted the outrage from watching AJ. He couldn't understand why I was calmly processing facts and not red in the face screaming like he was. I think it's unhealthy and possibly irresponsibly triggering for some vulnerable folks.

Disagree, God gave you the ability to feel anger for a reason. It's a defense mechanism. Channel it correctly.
Pacification is the poison.
