Me, in a toot: This thing here that’s happening is horrible.
Some random reply person: Oh, what about this other thing there you didn’t mention in your toot? I guess you’re fine with that injustice then, you bigot!
What the fuck is wrong with some of you? You’re manufacturing minutiae to rage at each other with instead of banding together to form bulwarks against the wave of fascism headed our way. There’s enough to be furious about without having to invent outrage from out of thin air, FFS!
@aral My son had an interesting insight the other day. He commented that some people just seem to be addicted to anger. If they can't find something to be angry about the create it to stir things up.
I agree, but i think modern life, social media, has a lot to do with that, given that people who post they feel sad, are then, fed information on self harm,
If people are angry then that anger can be turned in to something positive (look at Adam Sandlers character in the waterboy) so what is needed is the desire to id people who are angry. try and redirect them to something where that anger can be channeled safely, then address the other issues they have.
