respected

Being respected is overrated, like a billionaire's Christmas party.

The people most desperate to get respected, people like Patrizia Reggiani, Anna Delvey/Sorokin, Ezra McCanless, or the Ponzi scheme folks were usually dorks growing up.

Highlight reels 

Somebody that wants to be known and respected as the prosperous giant slayer and will claim to be the underdog in any situation until he/she defeats the giant (and therefore wants to benefit from a perceived disadvantage, but doesn't want to be at an actual disadvantage, and doesn't want to actually be or look weak).

The one that deemed himself/herself David showed everybody highlight reels of himself/herself beheading the giant but hid the reels of himself/herself being defeated after bullying someone else.

Favorite 

Some people have to do a lot of manipulating to keep themselves as David to the other guy's Goliath. The Warriors were the clear favorites most of the early 2021-2022 season by record, and really they still have a similar record to the Suns (the team with the top record in the NBA for the last few games), but you still have people calling the Suns and Lakers favorites to win the title (clearly people that don't want people to know they want the Warriors to get the title, but they also want to make it look like they are underdogs that have more setbacks and obstacles ahead of them than other teams before they can get it) . They must be talking about who people would like to see get a title rather than who is most likely to get one, otherwise the manipulation of someone behind the scenes is transparent.

Going by record, the Lakers wouldn't be anybody's favorite to win anything right about now, they've lost as many games as they've won and they are way back behind the Warriors in rankings. They are the team that would have to come from behind to get anywhere, not the Warriors. The Warriors are still heavily favored at this time, and probably will be for a long time.

Jim Jones 

He encouraged people in his cult to report on each other and nobody questioned him, they thought it was the right thing to do.

Jim Jones convinced everyone that he was saving them.

Dork 

Someone that thinks they are a lot more fun, exciting, colorful, revolutionary, and interesting than they actually are.

The dork was the girl everybody knew, but that nobody actually knew much, if anything about. The fun, exciting image was just a defense mechanism to keep anybody from knowing who she really was.

change 

Something many people seem to confuse with progress. Not all change is a good thing.

Getting taken back to the Stone Age wouldn't be progress and it wouldn't improve race relations, but it would be a change in direction, and some people love any change as long as it's change. They don't want a slow, steady, and natural progress made, they want a change now when they want it, and if they don't get it they'll walk over anybody they can (anybody they think is the weak one) to try and get their way, to get others to say yes to them instead of no.

Double standard 

If a male gets his dick chopped off and tossed in a cornfield, the world gets to laugh because he was probably a rapist and an abuser, at least that is the accusation, but if a female got her tits or other parts chopped off and tossed in a cornfield, the world is expected to weep for such a brave soul (even if she might have been someone who wasn't a nice or good person).

It's a double standard when the lives of one sex are treated like junk/garbage, and the lives of another are treated like critical and revered.
