This is the seventh post in a series of posts titled “10 signs you are a moody $%^#!@..” You can also read what I wrote for the first, second, third, fourth, fifth and the sixth signs. Thank you.
Today I will tell you about the 7th sign that Ronald suggested. I am glad that you are interested in the “Moody” series so far. As usual, please relax and leave any moodiness somewhere else before you continue reading. Also, if there is something I did or said that made you moody, please read on. Maybe by the end of all these series we will all be less moody as we will know how moodiness can hide in various shapes and forms, and how different things can trigger our moods.
Following is the 7th sign that you may be a moody person.
7 : You act rude to people because of their political views
You probably notice this sign every single day. Some people judge, discriminate, disagree or hate other people simply because those other people do not share the same political beliefs as them. It is like a mind controlling religion, with people being taught to hate everyone who is not affiliated with a certain agenda. It is funny how political parties talk about uniting people within a country under one political party, but rarely talk about uniting people from different parties under one country, or about uniting all people from the world under one planet. Following general example shows how such people act rude when they hear something related to politics that they have strong feelings about. Throughout this post, when I say politics, I will be implying government politics.
A general example of people being rude to others because of politics
You can see these people at bars and parties almost everywhere. They may not even know you, but they will start arguing with you, devoting their entire energy in life to prove that you are wrong and that your political views are wrong. You may not even be talking about other political parties but some good things about something related to the general idea of politics, and these people will jump into your conversations and do their best to disagree with you instead of disagreeing with the topic.
Such people believe more in politicians than their own spouses. They are willing to defend a political idea, created by the political party they love, at the cost of friendships and relationships. An innocent victim may be talking issues like conservatism, liberalism, green party, global warming, war, gun control or something else, and they will end up being insulted or ridiculed in public by a politically moody person who does not know how to control his or her moods when it comes to hanging around people who may have different political views.
A politically moody person values politics over respect for others
In my view, such people allow their strong feelings for their political beliefs to manipulate their respect for other people. The same way as with a few other types of moody people, including religiously moody people, politically moody people do not know how to co-exist with people having different views about different things in this world. They probably want everyone to have the same exact ideas. These types of people will also sometimes discriminate others outside of parties simply because of their own obsession with politics, and because of their inability to accept the fact that someone else may have a different view about something. Such politically moody people even get upset because someone may not have any political views about something.
Having thoughts that everyone should have the same exact thoughts is better than actually harassing and being rude to innocent people simply because they say something about politics that you yourself do not believe in. You are simply a moody person who allows political views to control your moods and in turn allow your moods to control your interactions with other people. You probably need to grow up, as everyday people will say a dozen things that you would not believe in. That does not mean you can become moody and start being rude or discriminatory to those people. You are probably only dependable to the political party you believe in; everyone else should stay away from you, as you value political ideas more than respect for life, and probably life itself.
What do you think of politically moody people who are rude to others simply because of politics?
What do you think of this sign of moodiness, and what do you think of such people? What do you think of people who act rude, around people they either just met or know for a while, simply because of the political topic being discussed? Do you think it is justified to start arguments based on political differences?
Thank you for reading this. I would like to invite you, again, to come back tomorrow and read about the 8th sign that, in my view, makes you a moody person: acting rude to people of different backgrounds and ethnicities!

Talk of politics brings out the worst in us. As our country matures and supposedly becomes more educated, the ability to use the English language well is reduced rather than improved, by the use of strong and/or profane one syllable words. This causes words like “hate” and and name calling to be used by illiterate people who don’t have the vocabulary to explain their opinions. Anger management issues also seem to be increasing as people seem not to be able to vent their anger in civilized discussion. Lessons in Standard American English need to be made more available to about 75% of our population.

For me people who’re obsessed with a certain political party and attacking everyone who doesn’t share their political views don’t differ that much from young immature fans obsessed with their favourite music band/singer they idolize.

D Armo, thank you for coming to the site and taking the time to post that response. I really appreciate it.
Your approach to this situation is interesting: basically, you are saying that language is the main reason such a mood or difference in our attitude happens, and that anger management or our inability to understand things correctly and then express our feelings on a whim is the reason people use politics as a reason to hurt others, right?
Yes, politics can bring out the worst in us. People do not know how to express their feelings since most of the times their feelings is manipulated by their own concept of things like politics and religion. Language is a very powerful tool, and people seem to be using it in any manner without considering how their words will affect those around them.
Thanks again D Armo. This is very interesting.
Vivien-inspirationbit, excellent point!
There are so many people obsessed with different things, they are actually willing to insult and hurt others simply to maintain the feeling that no one can disagree with their taste and choice. Sometimes, people forget that they are defending an idea, and instead feel as if they are personally being attacked. That is a very scary thing to do, as feeling personally attacked when someone talks about politics or a music band or something else means a person is making things personal on purpose, and thus willing to argue and disagree with others simply because of their pride.
That is a very scary thing that many people do almost every day. 0_0

politics, the one word everyone ‘hates’ lol. Politics as they say is a debatable topic. Hence, everyone must have different views on it.. I certainly don’t want to get involved with politics, count me out

Good point Vera. “Politics” is indeed a sensitive topic for a lot of people, akin to “religion” for many people.
When we meet next time, I won’t bring up politics then.
Or should I?
