    There are plenty of people all to eager to divide themselves into groups. I don’t know if all the billionaires on the planet working in unison could bring about cohesion amongst the masses, but they’re happy either way because they’re billionaires.

    For some reason we require contrarians. Also many people prefer being angry and seeing other people be angry so it justifies their own anger/lack of ability to emotionally regulate.

      People don’t relate to each other enough anymore. We stopped talking to out neigh or etc. So when people want interaction, they don’t feel they can afford vulnerabilit, and being angry is a socially acceptable way of interaction now.

      Being irate MUST mean you have some advanced knowledge and great reasoning to be as such, right? Otherwise you wouldn’t be so mad. Since you are, I better pay attention in case I need to be irate also.

      It’s a bastardized survival mechanism gone wrong in the world we weren’t made for.
