Anger is sadness that had nowhere to go for a very long time.
I think I needed to hear this, this one is new to me. Thank you.
Anger is a “secondary emotion” usually masking fear or sadness, https://healthypsych.com/psychology-tools-what-is-anger-a-secondary-emotion/
It is also the emotion that happens right after confusion but before fear after someone punches you in the face.
“Whoever needs to hear this” is Reddit mods (especially of political subs) in my experience. Sooo much sealioning and other “polite” disinformation left unchecked, while angry comments calling it out got censored for “incivility.”
And .world mods! Civility politics are a tool of the status quo and no one who espouses it should be respected.
There are mods on Lemmy? Most of the subs I’ve seen have like one rule and I don’t see any mod activity. Not I believe there isn’t, but it’s my personal experience.
Every online community demanding “civility” is confused and dangerous.
Sometimes blunt rejection is appropriate. Sometimes blunt rejection is necessary. Sometimes actual physical violence is necessary, in response to politely-phrased threats. There is no concept so horrifying that the English language cannot convey it gently. If a human moderator cannot be bothered to distinguish justified vitriol from unprovoked abuse, why bother relying on humans for moderation?
Demand and protect the ability to say “fuck off” when it matters.
So much for the tolerant left … 🙄
