All of that may be true, but I think it's also true that being angry often is bad for your health.

If I had a dime for every time I've seen someone judgmentally compare Israel to fictional protagonists.

"Luke Skywalker would just use the force to rescue the hostages. Have you considered that? I'm improving the world with my wisdom on this issue"

> Look at those great Israelis. If they wrote Die Hard, John McClane would just be flattening Nakotomi Plaza to kill the bad guys and free the hostage.

That's quite a broad brush. Yet I'd have to agree the current Israeli government are very hard-line and far right. Still, that's more likely cultural than breeding since there is considerable opposition to their strategy among the populous.

I've really noticed over the last couple months how much Business Insider too has been pandering to the Fortune 500 CEO - Headlines such as Return to office to maybe better for your health or suggesting to do extra work between your kids little league innings.

While I'm by no means a fan of the WSJ and its writing - my first reaction to the headline was "well, then you should stop writing stupid OpEds, WSJ" - may I suggest you're maybe a wee bit too far into conspiracy land?

Yes, WSJ absolutely pushes messages that benefit businesses & money above all else, and they have some pretty atrocious takes, but they're not part of a great cabal that breeds emotions out of humans.

Even from a purely tactical perspective - if you imbue their mental image of them with way more power and influence than they have, you'll have a hard time counteracting them.
