On being against being against things
I am the Founder of the Anti Anti Social Club (not to be confused with the Anti Social Social Club - I am very pro socializing).
The Anti Anti Social Club’s core value is simple: Being for something is much more positive than being against something. By its nature, being for something requires a more rigorous degree of thinking, and takes more effort.
To put it concisely, the Anti Anti Social club is against being against things. We are anti anti statements.
These signs are prime examples of anti statements; they radiate negativity to everyone that walks or drives by.
Why do people love anti statements?
They’re easy. It’s easy to criticize, it’s easy to see something you don’t like and say “Not that. I don’t know what instead, because I haven’t thought about it much, but definitely not that”.
Negative emotions are often more intense and visceral than positive ones. and it’s easier to bond when people are all feeling the same strong emotion.
Evolutionarily, a common enemy may destroy you and others, and it’s important to rally together to live to see another day. Uniting around something positive is not as urgent as a life or death situation.
Why is it better to be for something?
"Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that." - MLK Jr.
Being for something is at minimum attempting to find a solution, or a better way, to do something.
Being against something can be a short term solution. Being for something can be a long term solution.
