I am curious. Thought this would work better anonymously, although usually I see the advantages of an open poll. People can share their picks if they want. 3 choices max, no changing votes after, pick your top 3 or just 1 that gets all your anger, including other possibilities that I do not have a response for.

There are also of course many things in my catagories I couldn't include for length, and more categories we could have added too. I know this seems rather negative for me, but I also want to do the opposite poll and this is the preferred order.

You are welcome to vote or just look at the results, comment, critique, add whatever reaction these subjects of ire may cause you to feel. Please do your best to strive for the DP standard of civility (don't laugh, just try).
 
They all make me angry. And I want to lash out, but that helps nobody, in any of these scenarios. I would say community is the least likely to make me angry.

I hope nobody is going to say none of these things or anything at all makes them angry. I do not believe it. It may be suppressed or stored for later and unleashed on some unfortunate other. But even when we're angry we can be kind, compassionate, and curious about getting to know that person on the other end of a keyboard. Engage in dialogue in good faith and not with the belief when you go into an interaction with an opponent it needs to be an invective filled rant all around no matter how internally justified and immediately gratifying it may feel to do so.

So back to my picks, Foreign affairs, National affairs, and Home affairs. And it isn't divided equally but it's mostly in these 3.
 
Everything involving this dibolical administration. Literally EVERYTHING. God help us all.

This one. Given enough time and exposure, the internet (especially social media) turns everyone into an asshole.

I'm less angry about stuff that politicians do, because I don't really expect that much from them. There will always be greedy politicians, there will always be people with dumb ideas, and there will always be some downright evil actors in the world. As the great political philosopher Taylor Swift says, Putin's gonna poot poot poot poot poot. Shake it off.
 
I wished to choose "All of the Above" but that wasn't an option, so I chose the top three choices, but since this was an anonymous Poll don't tell anyone how I voted.
 

What makes me most angry? Harm done to children at the explicit direction of people in power over them, whether at home or abroad.

That is one that deserves a lot of anger wherever it is found.

This is what I meant by uncivil. This isn't attempting to know @LouC or why he believes what he does or even what he really does, or who he is as a person, because most of this is just an effigy pinned on people to abuse. Not seeking knowledge or understanding or compassion, which is required from us to solve the problems you so clearly care deeply about. Gotta do more work than angrily shake your fist at the sky.

If i can't rely on my leaders to be in the correct side of genocide, I literally cannot rely on them on any other issue.

Does it anger you there is more anger for national affairs than the genocide?

I redirect it. Mostly by converting it into curiosity (why am I so angry, what makes them so angry), and compassion (I don't have to always feel like this, or contribute to others feeling it, I could say something productive and kind instead.) That's harder work but worth the effort. It also is important for finding out what really motivates others and yourself, helpful for better communication and therefore problem solving.
 
wow. you have mad social skills.
