Coffee with Vincent, Pt. 19: Rejection Loops and Grievance Loops Conversations that meet you where you are

The Relational Grievance Loop is a long-term cycle where resentment is preserved by rejecting attempts at connection, allowing the resulting distance to reinforce the original grievance.

What makes Trump unusual, is the synthesis of Berlusconian #shamelessness , Andrew Jacksonian #grievance (election fraud obsession), Napoleon III's institutional #vandalism (in the name of "people against system"), Longian #clientelism , Chavista #polarization ,

This is proof the #Conservative party in #Canada has become the same type of #cult of #grievance politics as #MAGA in the US. They have no interest in a leader appealing to a broad portion of #Canadians just their base. #cdnpoli #onpoli

Why are FBI agents seizing boxes of 2020 election documents in Georgia? Fulton County, which votes overwhelmingly Democratic, has been a target of President Donald Trump since he narrowly lost the 2020 presidential election in Georgia to Democrat Joe Biden.

I’m almost 60. I grew up in rural Vermont, a white monoculture through and through. Reading this, I can only assume the author has some form of disability and r cognitive impairment. Yet he writes for a so-called “think tank”. Astounding.

I'd like to air my #grievance, yes singular, because I'm generally positive, but damn CVS really sucks and I miss RiteAid.

I had oral surgery yesterday and CVS got my script right away. Easy stuff, ibuprofen and amoxicilin, took them 7 hours to fill and the ice storm had started, so I have no meds.

NORAD Tracking Santa is Cold-War Darkness To celebrate Christmas, NORAD tracks Santa. There are various apocryphal stories about how this came to be, but however it started, the United States military presents NORAD’s Santa Tracker as a fun, celebratory way to do some public outreach for Christian American families. And media organizations in the US go along credulously; at my hotel breakfast I saw _The Today Show_ put up clips from the NORAD Santa Tracker on their broadcast this past Christmas morning. But I find the NORAD Santa Tracker to be extremely dark, emblematic of US military groupthink failures and fatalistic shoulder-shrugging on the part of the US media and public. It’s like a Christmas morning broadcast of _Doctor Strangelove_ , accompanied by the reminder that US nuclear strategy learned absolutely no lessons from either scientific findings or the entire Cold War. Why? Well, NORAD — or the North American Aerospace Defense Command — is a US military organization responsible for quickly identifying intrusions into north American airspace. Its specific focus is on strategic bombers and missiles — the delivery systems for nuclear warheads. What is _supposed_ to happen when NORAD identifies a high speed object entering North American airspace? NORAD reports to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, so notification would immediately reach the highest levels of the US military. These people would then have to sort out wither the incoming object represents a threat to American nuclear command and control systems. Under the utterly insane and self-destructive Cold War nuclear doctrines _that still hold today_ , if there’s an attack incoming that has the potential to disrupt US command and control, the US should respond with a full-scale nuclear retaliation against the aggressor — probably assumed to be Russia and China. So if, say, the object was heading on from the coasts towards the central Mountain region of the United States, that might qualify. Given developments in hypersonic missiles that can change course to evade air defenses, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs might have to assume that the weapons’ intended target is located far from its projected ballistic course. In other words, even if the incoming object is headed for the middle of the Nevada desert _when detected_ , they might have to assume it could angle itself over to Cheyenne Mountain at the last moment. NORAD has, in the past, accidentally left training simulations active in their computers, triggering this alert process. The Chairman is supposed to check with one person before launching a planet-annihilating attack on the USSR: the President of the United States. It sure is fortunate for any humans living on Earth that the President is always someone reticent to activate nuclear weapons for any purpose and who has a serious regard for the safeguards preventing their use. Even if deployed in a so-called “limited” nuclear exchange — a few dozen warheads exploded out of the roughly 12,000 that exist — the ensuing nuclear winter would result in globally existential famines, potentially toppling the governments of even the “winner.” In other words, mutually assured destruction is practically _baked in_ to anyone’s use of nuclear weapons — no retaliation required. The bottom line is, according to current US nuclear doctrines, if NORAD _actually_ detected Santa, life as we know it on Earth _would_ end. Sleep tight on Christmas Eve, kids. This is what the NORAD Santa Tracker represents to me: the US military cavalierly joking about an existential threat to myself, my family, my community, my people, and my country. And nobody in the US defense complex, civilian leadership, or media is interested in talking about eliminating that clear and present danger.

Who Can Imagine Why Anyone Would Want To Cut This Lovely Mom Out Of Her Life? Laura Wellington is estranged from one of her adult daughters. The Connecticut 59-year-old is somewhat famous for this, in fact, or anyway famous for her response to it. Across TikTok and Instagram, under the name "Doormat Mom," Wellington's railing against the supposed injustice done to her by a daughter she calls an "ungrateful little bastard" has brought her some 140,000 total followers. This past weekend, she was one of the subjects of a _Wall Street Journal_ article reporting on what the writer Elizabeth Bernstein calls a "movement" aiming to "reduce stigma, build community, and empower others who are enduring one of life's most painful experiences: the loss of a child who is still alive." From the _Journal_ article, a reader can learn that Wellington, who regards herself as a good mom, reportedly initiated the estrangement herself, after learning she wouldn't be invited to her daughter's wedding. You can learn that Wellington, in addition to her dedicated TikTok and Instagram accounts, also has launched Facebook and YouTube accounts, a podcast, and a self-published book, all themed around the supposed phenomenon of parents being unjustly cut off by their cruel adult children. You can certainly, on the basis of these facts, start to form a pretty good idea of what kind of person Laura Wellington is, and, say, what it might be like to encounter her as a worker in a retail or customer service job.

A quotation from **Eric Hoffer**

> To have a grievance is to have a purpose in life. A grievance can almost serve as a substitute for hope; it not infrequently happens that those who hunger for hope give their allegiance to him who offers them a grievance.
