Whether it is something as relatively mundane as trolling the interwebs, or, the violence of hit-and-run, people are pretty good about being nasty to one another. And we see it all over. We see it in Ferguson, we see it in New York, we see it in Denver, it's everywhere. Sexism, racism, homophobia, xenophobia, ablism, people shutting down discussions on any of these items, rudely.
I don't remember when the last time I've been able to go anywhere without encountering at least one dick. Usually more.
Why?
Are we dealing with an increase of people with dickish tendencies? Do we just notice it more? Any thoughts by people who routinely go out of their way to be a dick? What motivates you?
This diary was only partially tongue in cheek... I'm actually tired of just all the nasty behavior between people. It's really sickening.
