This is how I understand interpersonal drama - perceiving a disagreement as a personal attack. Feel free to write the definition.That's not the definition of drama.

We are moving from the literate individual who is emotionally disengaged to an electronic tribe that is emotionally engaged.As a generality, drama appears to be other people's shit but one's own shit is called 'concerns'.
“a state, situation, or series of events involving interesting or intense conflict of forcesâ€
So how would you resolve the situation in Venezuela? What kind of hard work would remove dictatorship?What if we pivot here and talk about drama and conflict on a bit of a larger scale?
I was thinking of Venezuela. Since the global downturn they seem to have suffered immensely. Hyperinflation, food insecurities, rioting - all things that point to an unstable country both politically and economically.
The news I have seen out of Venezuela has focused more on elections and leadership (personality) and less in solving the underlying conditions that caused the collapse in the first place or what to do now that they are in the position they are in.
It’s possible I don’t have all the details about what’s happening in Venezuela, so I’m happy to learn more. Or maybe someone has a better example of larger scale “dramaâ€, please share.
I guess my question would be, are the Venezuelans moving the deck chairs around or are they solving the issues that are causing their country so much harm. Collectively (and I think this applies to all countries) is it easier to focus on things like leadership change and the theatre of politics than it is on hard work and tough decisions that can bring about change? (I realize the two are somewhat connected, I’d argue not completely(

There is no accounting for what will trigger some folks. I was speaking not about precision, though, but about accuracy. They are not the same. Some people, of course, care for neither, but when a simple change of wording will provide especially the latter, I find the benefit far outweighs the cost.Often people don't care about precision, for any number of reasons, be it informal setting, or where simply language mirrors the gist of their reasoning, notwithstanding room for/awareness of the existence of more nuance and detail. And I think most of the time it's fine, as most people can get the idea without getting worked up about that imprecision.
It's the outliers, like people having a chip on their shoulder, paranoid, or looking for a bone to pick, that can get triggered with that, IMO, which is often a catalyst for drama.
By that definition, World War II was a great drama. Perhaps that is why one refers to the "Pacific theater" and "European theater".“a state, situation, or series of events involving interesting or intense conflict of forcesâ€

A revolution or armed coup.
YES! It's like when someone says "I'm a nice guy" or something like that and it makes you wonder why they feel the need to say that, like they are trying to prove it to themselves.
.Why can't you kill your way to peace? Pretty much every civilization we have today got to where they were through killing and murder and claiming and supporting their own power. A large part of stability and control is being able to put down insurrection. It's just unique when the insurrection wins and puts their own power structures in place. It's the duality of man - war and peace go hand in hand. But it's probably debatable if humanity has ever really achieved a true peace or if it even exists at all.
He holds everything and won't let go. The only way is a bloody revolution. It's not just peace, it's justice.I think there are better ways.
Address the underlying causes that supported the rise to power in the first place. I’m not sure you can kill your way to peace.

My views: for every action, there is an equal and opposite re-action.Justice opens a lot of doors in this conversation. There are some pretty interesting theories about why justice is so important and it definitely relates to the idea of “dramaâ€.
Can you explain your underlying view of justice and its benefit to society as a whole?
