Why Do We Fight for the Defending of an Idol?

Not only brothers and sisters. Adults also still like to fight But not because of fighting over toys Adults get more bizarre and confusing things.

Yes, they like to nibble ... ... and confess to each other - admit their idols are the coolest! This is an incident when I was idolized by soccer clubs, foreign artists, ... ... until of course, political figures.

When it gets worse, the days become tense ... ... because each person is prejudiced to one another or not the other side.

Make the streets until social media is full of suspicion ... ... and curse curses.

Hmm ... why, does a different political choice make people fight?

In short, the problems we encounter are the result ... ... from what is called "fanaticism".

Simply put, ... ... fanaticism is excessive behavior when supporting ... ... or defending the characters or defending the groups we idolize.

If we often see the ball audience who likes to fuss - fuss when his team loses ... ... or hot debates or fighting in social media because of ... ... in that case, is an example.

Then, why this fanaticism can be dangerous?

Obviously the excessive fanaticism ... ... makes us intolerant of the other side.

Because if you overdo it .. ... people who are fanatical about certain figures or groups ... ... so like to see things in black and white ... ... and don't think fairly.

Make them want to find answers that are good for them. They like to think that they are ... ... or what the idol talking about must be right ... ... and the others must be wrong.

Yes, the cool language is confirmation. And, that makes them like to reject differences ... ... which if continued, they will endeavor ... ... and i-i-in whatever the idols say.

Even if it's already bad ... ... from what used to be just anti ... eventually became hostile and at its peak attacking people who have different opinions Now maybe we are surprised ... ... why can people be fanatical?

Actually, the answer can be many, because of fanaticism ... ... can come ... ... because of the nature or environment of different people. but actually, fanaticism can also enter ... ... through places that we didn't expect.

Education Yes, an education system that doesn't train us to think critically ... ... then we can just believe and accept it. Make it easier for blind love ... ... with any one of our idols.

Add it to the same social media that thousands of information circulating every day ... ... and if you don't have the ability to be loud, make us trapped ... ... in the echo room, just believe in ... ... what we want to believe.

And that is the problem in Indonesia Our society is really fighting because of fanaticism ... ... who overreacted with his political idols.

For example, just look at the presidential election yesterday ... ... or even get to the elections in many regions of Indonesia.

Fights and hate speech is so easy to meet ... ... on the streets and on social media.

Sadly, because the debate was so hot ... can even break friendships ... or make one family go along ... ... fought because of different choices.

And that's only because of politics.

There are still many other disputes taking place out there as a result of ... ... excessive fanaticism in the field like ... ... religion, football clubs, idol singers ... ...and others.

Having an idol is only natural.

Having political choices is everyone's right.

 But, if we tell people ... ... or fought over political choices and different idols ... ... of course it's already beyond the limits of reasonableness.

Hopefully we will understand more, if the idols are different ... ... it doesn't mean that our side is more right, and the others must be wrong.

We just have different choices. Therefore, we must be more mature and appreciate it. And as always, thanks :)
