    Why do people have to be such complete arseholes? They just get so angry and hateful so fast. I've been associated with Nazis twice today.

        I used to think social media made us all assholes. But then my friends who are older than me said, "No, people have always been horrible. Social media just amplified it."

        And I don't think it's a Left/Right/Centrist/liberal/whatever thing. EVERYONE is doing the "I can't go to bed because someone's wrong on the Internet" thing!

        When people get angry it is always because they know or fear they are wrong. Getting angry brings a surge of self-righteous adrenalin that makes them feel they must be in the right. But it only works temporarily. That’s why they have to keep getting angry.

        Welcome to the club. So when did you become a national socialist? I was labeled in 2016 by a lovely SJW brigade trying to tell me everything is racist.

        Because they know they have no cogent argument to make against you, so they resort to calling you a universal bad thing to discredit you.

        Probably the same reason some people shout a lot in real life. They think volume makes up for lack of an argument.

        I suspect they have to train hard at it at some kind of College for Complete Arseholes tbh. You're only allowed in though if you already have a Foundation Certificate in Arseholery. It's the only explanation imo. :)

        Default to nazi accusation = low intelligence, uninformed, no evidence based assertions or rational argument.
