'Who gets to define the domain — "the international", "the economy", "society" — shapes who gets to define the problem and the solution. I call it "domain differentiation".'

“When we replace a sense of service and gratitude with a sense of entitlement and expectation, we quickly see the demise of our relationships, society, and economy.”

@swacknificent @roblosricos @thisislieven @CStamp @skeletor
Thank you
What you're sick of is the lazy, whiny resigned #entitlement
But I think this era is passing
This is what #ElSayed means to me
People are beginning to understand. You need to fucking #vote. And they are!
The era of sitting on the sidelines and smugly judging to tweak one's ego is coming to a close
#DSA is going to take over the #Democrats and anyone not on board and voting is a fucking loser, and everyone knows it now

My neighbor was working in our garden today when some guy parked in our parking. Which is a bit wierd. We’re in the countryside. The parking is *in* our garden. She politely told him he couldn’t park there, and was about to tell him about the parkings around here. There’s plenty. Countryside you know. He didn’t have time for that though. He was busy blaming her for not having a “private property” sign. So no help for him! #entitlement

@Seb321 @ariaflame @majorlinux @aaron @Robotistry
Seb i removed you as a follower
i despise you
i consider you to be a monster worse than an #immoral or #amoral person
you are content to sit in your mind palace and smugly judge the world for being messy, and doing nothing else, and thinking this is " #moral"
you are nothing but a picture of rank #entitlement
stop believing anything you say has anything to do with #morality, it does not
and fix your rotten conceited soul

Just had an unpleasant road encounter with an angry male driver and laughing female companion. They were driving a large black 4dr truck towing a boat and carrying various other water things on the roof.
I was stopped at a light, windows open, in the right lane, driving my Kona EV. They pull up beside me and the lady looks down at me and smirks. I hear “powersucker!”
The light turns green and he guns it, attempting to drown me in his black smoke. So I accelerate away from him.
No way I was going to let him try to cut me off with his boat and both of us end up piled into a telephone pole.
After leaving him far behind, I turn left a kilometre up the road, and as I make my turn, he passes me on the right, pedal to the metal again, deafening roar.
Some people are deeply troubled, especially when they get behind the wheel. Our society is so broken right now and so much of it revolves around cars, trucks, oil and ignorance.

CW: CN murders
Family annihilation murder-suicide in the States recently.
Classic pattern, sounds like. Man has inadequate emotional skills, feels shame at loss of breadwinner role / head-of-household power, resorts to obliterating the witnesses to his failure.
This kind of deadly entitlement doesn't come from nowhere.
Respect to men who role-model how to be vulnerable and get support, and how to be in genuine partnership with their partners.

A quotation from Herbert Hoover
You convey too great a compliment when you say that I have earned the right to the presidential nomination. No man can establish such an obligation upon any part of the American people. My country owes me no debt. It gave me, as it gives every boy and girl, a chance. It gave me schooling, independence of action, opportunity for service and honor. In no other land could a boy from a country village, without inheritance or influential friends, look forward with unbounded hope. My whole life has taught me what America means. I am indebted to my country beyond any human power to repay.
Herbert Hoover (1874-1964) American engineer, bureaucrat, US President (1929-33)

Fascination for the #guillotine comes from a revenge urge.
"Often, all it takes to be able to cease to hate a person is to succeed in making it impossible for him to pose any kind of threat to you.

"The worst punishment anyone could inflict on those who govern and police us today would be to compel them to live in a society in which everything they’ve done is regarded as embarrassing—for them to have to sit in assemblies in which no one listens to them, to go on living among us without any special privileges in full awareness of the harm they have done. If we fantasize about anything, let us fantasize about making our movements so strong that we will hardly have to kill anyone to overthrow the state and abolish capitalism. This is more becoming of our dignity as partisans of liberation."#stateViolence #grievability #revolution #anarchism #entitlement

A quotation from Richard Steele
It is a civil Cowardice to be backward in asserting what you ought to expect, as it is a military Fear to be slow in attacking when it is your Duty.
Richard Steele (1672-1729) Anglo-Irish writer, journalist, playwright, politician

Organizations decide from poor understanding and overconfidence. "If you haven’t experienced it, or seen it up close, verbal descriptions won’t get you very far."

CW: Nzpol Entitlement for some is just hohum.
And the world of our politicians is so hard? Yeah right!
Shane Jones travelled to Canada in March last year to attend the Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada convention, said to be the world's largest mining conference.
The original trip was budgeted and approved by Cabinet to cost $33,000 but ended up blowing out to $63,000.

#american behavior with #iran is a study in #entitlement

That is America's entitlement derangement

Loss - the belief in progress and the reality of experiences of loss.
* Grievance-fuelled violence at home and psychological harm reduction
"The family violence workforce is stretched in Western societies... 20 out of 38 reviewed cases of fatal family violence were "grievance-fuelled"...The Fixated Grievance Perpetrator Intervention Pilot brings together experts in forensic psychology and psychiatry, criminology, policing, perpetrator intervention and victim support."

* The role of loss within society
Andreas Reckwitz 's book 'Loss, A Modern Predicament, The first comprehensive study of the role of loss within society", 2025 explains loss not only from a psychological perspective, but also from a sociological one."Loss has come to occupy a central position in late modernity – whether in the consequences of climate change or the entrenchment of negative expectations about the future, the ‘losers’ of post-industrial modernisation or the collective processing of ‘historical wounds’ and of who is acknowledged as the victims and perpetrators of these crimes, in a heightened psychological awareness of vulnerability, in political populism, a nostalgia for things past, or programmes of resilience."
"Loss is the bread and butter of populism." >>
