Mood affiliation

[sus]

Thinking about how ideology is primarily a vector for communicating mood.

A great vehicle of emotional transmission. The message in tone of voice, not literal semantics.

The true diagnosis the gravity or levity which delivers it.

go on... could be interesting

It's all there it's a complete idea, very compressed but you can "do your own unpacking"

 

[luka]

oh well not interested then, too thin

"Should we be alarmed?"

"How high priority is this?"

The emotion is the way a body (social, political, etc) triages its strategic agenda.

im not sure i understand how youre getting from here to ideology i guess

Social "feeling out" is vibe-first?

By ideology I mean the literal content of people's descriptions of the world

The "is" is always in service of the "ought."

i still dont know what you mean.

 

[version]

You see this a lot on Twitter. People feeling they should say something, but not wanting to stick their neck out too far.

Belief isn't about literal content it's about mood. So for Catholics maybe, a perpetual guilt, for Calvinists the mood of original sin, etc

"don't come in here with your 'facts' and cramp our vibe"

What you're saying about social feeling out and the language people use. Say someone tweets something that might be offensive, you will often see someone respond with something like "I dunno... This seems kind of ... ?" as though they're waiting for people to come back them up before they decide how they feel about it.

Even if your facts aren't in discord with their facts necessarily, it's gonna come down to vibe; you're gonna get kickbanned from the jewish feminist lawyer mamas group if your attitude suggests that some men should be allowed to survive the apocalypse
