How do you feel about a child molester or terrorist? When you label them at an identity level, you get a pretty rock-solid judgement, and plenty of negative emotion about them, don't you? Now, does that make a positive difference? Maybe you think it *keeps* society safe to feel bad about them? Is it true that it's the negative emotion that keeps society safe, or is it really something else? (and is society really safe from child molesters and terrorists? they seem to proliferate despite all the judgement of them.)
Lots of people live in fear of child molesters, terrorists, bitches, and alphas, etc. How much positive influence do you think they have, in exchange for feeling their judgements and bad feelings?
