Money From Anger, The New Phallus
Ian McCleary 1992 (Morris Plains, NJ)
Call it apathy or indifference, but if averting my eyes from the nations politics, has made me a better person for it, I will continue that way.
Fighting over who has this country,
has filled people's brains ( who watch these tv programs)
with blood like the erectile tissue found in their penis. Confirmation bias keeps them
in this cycle of behavior.
Their anger attains a type of sexual climax.
So that signs of conflict add to their pleasure, even when they know it isn't good for them. After they plateau, things take on a different nature, and they end up feeling more anxious over their lives than before.
How sad when people make careers from the abuse of people's emotions.
