When people say something "brings people together" they usually mean it promotes a sense of comradery between a group of people for a short time via a shared interest.
For most people this means sports, music festivals, and various other entertainments. Usually, this manifests itself amongst crowds in the form of chanting, cheering, frequent high fiving, or singing along with a crowd.
Sounds fun, right? Who doesn't want to experience that feeling of belonging? Well, guess what its all a farce. Think about it what do all these events that apparently promote the community spirit have in common? Excessive amounts of drugs and alcohol. Think about it everyone at a game is drunk out of their minds and music festivals are pretty much open air drug markets. So that warm feeling of togetherness you maybe experience while you and a few thousand other people singalong with whoever is on stage is probably just the result of intoxication
. Don't get me wrong I don't mind drugs and alcohol but lets call this bringing people bullshit for what it is. Its the same thing as banging someone you find hideous the next day because you had your beer goggles on. It's only an illusion. Let's be honest nothing good ever came out of bringing people together. In fact bringing people together is the first-step psychotic leaders take when planning to launch a war or commit genocide. Now that's what people do when they come together. The shit you see at a game or at a show that's people coming together in the most superficial sense. Wrapping their arms around each other and singing for 20 minutes is just something people do when they're wasted. Now when they really come together, when they really feel that comradery that's usually because they've decided they hate some other people so much that they've been brought together by their desire to kill them, and that violence that comes with feeling close to a group does manifest itself all be it on a much smaller scale at things like sporting events or concerts. How many people get attacked in stadium parking lots for wearing the wrong jerseys? How many women get beat and raped at concerts because some dude was just feeling the energy? People need to just stay away from each other. The group, the crowd, the comradery only emboldens them to do violent and horrible things. Do yourself and the world a favor don't try and make a connection with people.
