Using Outrage as a Negotiation Tactic – A Smart Move or a Costly Mistake?
In negotiations, offence can be wielded as a weapon—provoking anger or indignation to push an opponent into a corner. From Napoleon's diplomatic barbs to Trump's confrontational style, history is full of figures who have used calculated outrage to gain leverage. But does it really work?

TL;DR: if you wanna be a better person practice to wait a second every time you feel angry/scared/"other strong emotion" before you act. Just one second! Then think "what do I wanna do now?" and you will be able to think of better options. Better than the option you would have chosen if you didn't wait that second.
BOOM! Congrats, you're a better person than a second ago.

Usually it's some form of worthiness wound that pushes us to self-defense. Something we learned in our pasts that still lingers and makes us think "I am unworthy/unlovable/broken". We don't *want* to believe it but what if they're right?
When we are hit by words that feed into that belief, that insecurity, then we must push that possibility away. We are not like that! We cannot be!

This is how a real man resolves a situation. Love this guy.

Baby queers, questioning people, and anyone else, we got you.
This sucks: it's terrifying and unnecessary suffering. This was avoidable, but for powerful people making their selfish fear into our problem.
It's not your fault, never was, and never will be. Your feelings matter, your experiences matter, and even unmet, your needs matter.
You might even say, perhaps -- bizarrely?! -- that b/Black and b/Brown (wait, does that one get the double case slash or) peoples' lives matter.
Much like b/Black people, disabled people, queer people, and other groups pushed out of everyday life all keep saying in various words and intensities over the years:
shit has hit the fan, will continue to hit the fan, and yes, this is going to be tedious and deadly to fix.
But we do, in fact, need to turn off the fan, remove the faeces, sterilise all surfaces and objects in the room, and LEARN what went wrong.
The time will pass either way. We need to accept our current situation to plan how to fix it.
ALL information is biased, as are conclusions and instructions.
The 'trick' is prioritising your ideal outcomes, revieiwing sources' validity at each step, and maintaining integrity in your recommendations.
Bed and Bread.
Everyone deserves Bed and Bread.
There we go. Brexit means break shit?
Give mad lads bed and bread.
Parents, educators, teachers & school administrators.
Does your local public schools teach students about non-violent communication skills & how to de-escalate during conflicts?
Here's my essay on five types of conflict resolution, :"Why Conflict Resolution Works": https://ocd-free.medium.com/why-conflict-resolution-works-db72b499f73f
"I’m an Israeli, but I believe inflicting more harm on Gaza will not bring a solution"
As a member of Jewish-Arab peace coalition Standing Together, Alon-Lee Green says there is an alternative to the cycle of violence
Israel’s citizens – Jewish and Arab-Palestinian – have all been devastated by this terrifying situation, which is still unfolding.
