One thing we take for granted when getting mindkilled in North America is for a lot of people tribal conflicts might be limited to skirmishes on the internet. Being triggered as a result of past trauma is often because of how real the threat posed by the original event was. The experience of someone who has been physically attacked in some way reliving that in their memory probably feels comparatively worse from the inside than how someone feels after their political tribe is attacked. There are a lot of parts of the world, including in North America, where political or tribal conflicts pose more of a threat of facing physical violence, than is typical. The more palpable and probable the threat of facing actual trauma as a consequence of political or tribal conflicts, the more similar I’d expect the experience of becoming ‘mindkilled’ to the experience of being ‘triggered’. If someone were to do this kind of research, one thing to keep in mind in what will determine people’s experience in politics is the perception of likelihood and degree of a threat will vary a lot depending on the person.
