A variety of additional external resources (text, music, and videos) that shed light on the experiences of various aspects of The Violence Filter:

• our attraction to violence,
• our response to it,
• our acceptance and embrace of it,
• our rejection and termination of it.
• And, of course, its importance to how we see ourselves and others.

Important → Violence, in all its various forms, is experienced and manifested in so many different ways. So many different aspects of What We Are influence the expression and experience of, and attraction to violence. Thus, no single author can ever hope to express the depth and variety of the urge and expression of "breaking things and hurting people" adequately. Whether playfully or seriously ... or both at the same time.

We are instinctively drawn to the contemplation of, interest in, and curiosity towards viewing violence. Especially regarding the types of violence we would not like to happen to us. Quite often, these types of events, known to attract people to reading or watching the news, and thus valuable from a subscription or advertisement perspective, have often been referred to as examples of yellow journalism. Even the sports we watch with the greatest intensity are also the sports offering the greatest likelihood of witnessing harm during the competition, either accidental or otherwise.

Thus, ConserveLiberty is making selected additional commentary available here.

These external resources may (do) contain their own biases. These biases may or may not agree with the biases of ConserveLiberty authors. However, they do shed additional light on various aspects of violence as it is experienced and understood by others. ← Important

  You're frightened by, but pining for the sighting of a Bigger Trigger tonight!
  Remy Munasifi (GoRemy)
  Trigger
  
  Remy has a very creative way of illustrating insightful observations regarding our various instincts, anxieties, and perspectives through the medium of active music comedy.
  
  This music video clearly was released Oct 31, 2017, consistent with the Halloween Theme. But he has uncovered another "monster" among us, spun by many as "threatening" us. That "monster"? The Trigger.

  What are the consistent themes of the "zombie apocalypse movies"?
  
  Why?
  
  By the way, note that there is no plural form of "apocalypse". After The One, there is No Other.
  
  Are these portrayals of Actual Real Threats.
