Why do these three words raise my blood pressure so much?
There is this collective psychosis currently around here that people voted for and want to drag everyone who didn't off a cliff, I'm sure everyone heard of it, let's not further advertise the idiots though... but, of all propaganda I heard in my life... gah, I've never heard these three words more, and I'm beyond sick, like I was sick a year ago, I'm now close to bashing my head whenever someone seems to orgasm based on it on radio, like I'm considering not listening to current affairs because of this specific thing.
I mean, sure, for cultists they must feel some kind of lust, like I wouldn't believe they're not masturbating in a radio station when they repeat these three words about ten times in one minute, what other reason would there be? I often wonder whether it would be more direct if they just announced five minutes of public masturbation, because that is basically it.
And it's not just politicians that keep repeating them. This is what's horrifying... journalists too, and I don't mean ones that necessarily belong to a cult, even ones purporting to be neutral, and they are for the rest of the segment but for some damn reason they *need* to repeat them? Like, what reason could that be, a lack of public awareness? And, of course, it's a so-called slogan, so it's not like they're words brimming with information.
I'm just getting so irrationally angry every time this happens, and I know I haven't always had this instant reaction, but after two years of constant bombardment... words can truly change one's physiology. As such, I'm assuming the cultists derive a perverse pleasure from them... propaganda definitely works differently on everyone, though.
And no, I can't possibly ever repeat them myself, which makes it bizarre to complain about, but let's leave it at initials, 'tbc'. And I'm normally composed, but as soon I hear them, multiple times... nah, I don't think it's possible to derive any more coherent information from that specific interview anymore, so I'm starting to skip it, but not stop the station altogether because, after all, if there is a segment on dinosaurs straight after (yep, there was, bizarrely, wonder if they had sh***y propaganda?) I'd like to listen to it, but I am definitely done with sadistic cultists.
I wish it was as innocuous as 'to be continued'... and even though I heard/read that a lot too it's relatively neutral, isn't it? No, this was a lying campaign funded apparently by undeclared 'diamonds, guns and Russian cash' by Aron Banks. But hey, what's that when they can activate psychopathic people to murder their MP?
Buuuut, anyway... this thread was supposed to be about the reason for these reactions to words. I wish I could feel differently, because it's a useless reaction anyway, so is there any way that can be done?
No clue as to what you're talking about. I mean ...I cant figure out what this thing is that you don't want to talk about, that you are talking about...cant figure out what it is.
What ever it is...it is upstaging the topic that you DO want to talk about. Which is (as I understand it) "trigger phrases" that might set a person off. Someone else on WP doesn't like to be called "kiddo". I guess that's the kind of thing that you want to talk about. But I could be wrong. And its hard to talk about something that mundane after you just accused the Russians of trying rub out the prime minister of you country (don't know what country that would be).
MP, not PM, and nah, it was very much a crazed native who killed Jo Cox... because, you know, some people think 'natives' apparently can kill whoever they wish, except he'll still die in prison. And he might have got the money from SA, and PR companies may have poisoned that region too until their dissolution (Pottinger), but Banks did it all so he could destroy the UK in the end, kind of like Dyson who was fine with that until it left because suddenly it doesn't like the result.
You might as well be speaking in Greek.
Few folks on this site know your local South African references. If you wanna talk about this issue then take it to the "current events" subforum here. But even there you would have to explain it to the rest of us start to finish.
If you wanna talk about three word phrases that trigger you in a way that is relevant to "general autism" then go ahead a talk about it here.
"Batteries Not Included"
"Some Assembly Required"
"Void Where Prohibited"
"For Adults Only"
"Male Chauvinist Pig"
"E Pluribus Unum"
"My Fellow Americans"
"Pledge of Allegiance"
"Save the Whales"
???

Because not a single one of those slogans has the initials "TBC".
The OP is obviously talking about a very current hot button political issue with a MAGA type catchphrase associated with it. And there are even hints in his post that it has to do with Brexit in some way.
What KeepOn suggested makes the disjointed things that the OP said fall into place and make sense. So what KeepOn suggested is prolly right.
OP, I can relate. I find myself wanting to key cars that have particular bumper stickers on them or rip hats with slogans off people’s heads. I can’t even stand the sound of a particular politician’s voice; I immediately change the channel if he’s on TV.
