I'm thinking about how all the people I've hated the most are those I've feared becoming. And how mocking statements are only ever targeted at the speaker's worst fears. I wonder what the relationship between anxiety and generally hating the world is.

Lots of the nastiness around social justice might come from a deep-rooted fear of being racist/sexist/etc. Lashing out at people who don't meet your level of virtue because you're terrified of not being virtuous enough is a really dangerous trap to fall in.
