FASCINATING EXAMPLE OF PROJECTION AND SUBJECTIVITY OF PERCEPTION
This discourse is the best example, far better than during George Floyd, of the human tendency to project bias into perception of events. And to bend events to reinforce their biases.
I do this kind of assessment for a living so to speak, and use social media to perform textual analysis of differences of perception and valence to understand the motives, bias, reaction, projection, and reasoning of the populations – with special emphasis on sex, class, and cultural differences.
In almost every case the difference is sex-biased: meaning feminine prey (fear) response and masculine predator (confidence) response – although as we have seen in this thread, there are overlaps that include feminine empathic males, and masculine systemic rational females. And there is a definite class effect with the lower classes biasing to the feminine (victim, prey, progressive) response and the upper middle and upper biasing toward the masculine (actor, predator, conservative).
These distributions are expected and universal though they vary by culture and that culture’s biases toward responsibility.
But this is the best example I’ve seen of provoking stereotypical bias projection.
