What’s with all the hate here lately?

Why are people so quick to resort to name calling to get their way rather than having an intelligent discussion?

It's been really bad since trump lost the election.
Peaches · F
@JeanAnna I'm with ya all the way!👌☺️
@JeanAnna Based on the original post date, it’s been going on for awhile, alas.
Peaches · F
@bijouxbroussard ...sad to say!😞
And so quick to block each other.
JeanAnna · F
@PhoenixPhail Some just can't face the truth so they block someone, that's what happened to me today. lol

I think people in general do this, to assert themselves and bully their way through life. Its a dominance thing I believe.
@Mse90 It's a [i]FEAR[/i] thing.
Peaches · F
@Mse90 I think it's learned behavior...hurt people hurt other people.😞
Mse90 · 46-50, M
@Peaches I agree
Northerner · 70-79, M
I think Social media has a lot to answer for.
Northerner · 70-79, M
@hippiechick333 True! I just think it makes it easier to cause trouble then hide away.lol
hippiechick333 · 56-60, F
@Northerner haha yep. Or it makes it easier to express one’s opinion while hiding. 🤷‍♀️
Northerner · 70-79, M
@hippiechick333 Thanks... That is what I was trying to say.lol
Bigwill75 · 46-50, M

@PrivateHell truth!
Liberals started it 😁
hippiechick333 · 56-60, F
@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout of course... I’ve been thinking of changing my username to fragilesnowflake
hertoy · 70-79, M
Sad, it seems the way of young liberals...free speech is ONLY valid if you agree with me! Otherwise I will call you names and out shout you!
DonaldTrumpet · 70-79, M
@hertoy GetS On TwittErs Lozer
hippiechick333 · 56-60, F
@hertoy I have seen name calling from both the right and left...
Peaches · F
This has become such a self centered world where everyone wants to be heard and no one is willing to listen.
Peaches · F
@hippiechick333 Me either, an example is on my last question. 🙁It was an honest mistake but this one guy wouldn't let it go?! It was crazy?!
hippiechick333 · 56-60, F
I think being petty and mean spirited has been made fashionable... it’s sad 😢
Peaches · F
@hippiechick333 Sure is!😞 But I always remember this little rhyme..."pretty is is pretty does...
and pretty can be pretty [b]ugly! 😜[/b]

I just love how already couple of responses have pointed out a group and name-called. 🤷
Miram · 31-35, F
@ImDone really? Do show.. Still holding resentment from yesterday because I stood up to you harassing another member, no more.

@ImDone How is this the truth? Show me. All you do is label your subjective perceptions truths and so far to me they are just pitiful attempts to insult.

I read your other response. You seem to do this because you can't manage your anger. That's not a productive way to express it. Really, you should consider that at some point.
MrBrownstone · 46-50, M
When faced with facts that go against what they believe they have no choice but to insult.
nedkelly · 61-69, M
@MrBrownstone As soon as you insult you have lost the argument
hippiechick333 · 56-60, F
Well said @nedkelly

the safety of being behind a screen makes people get brave and say shit they wouldn’t dare say in person

I noticed that too. Makes me want to leave here for a while.
Yeah I've noticed that too. They just treat every question like it's a joke, esp. This one group of rude gals.
@hippiechick333 this was when I was new here. I had to delete my question.
hippiechick333 · 56-60, F
@Vivaci I’m already thinking of deleting this one 😑
@hippiechick333 Do not..

Just block n report the rude ones.
It is the new strategy of those who wish to validate their own identity by assocciating with those who have conglomerated into yet another 'important' group of SW users intent on but one thing: their willingness to wholly embarrass themselves before other members.
DonaldTrumpet · 70-79, M
HATEz is PowerZ.
DonaldTrumpet · 70-79, M
hippiechick333 · 56-60, F
Well good luck with that :)
@DonaldTrumpet ahhhh...

This is so funny coz his opponents are blue🤣

Those types never intended to have one, in the first place. They want to win, not find common ground or even agree to disagree.
Miram · 31-35, F
Lack of proper manners and discipline.

If I am trashing and being abusive to someone, they probably earned it by consistently being disrespectful towards me. I also can't stand manipulative behaviours. Then they either stop or block.

There were plenty of incidents where I was humouring them and they mistook it for aggression. So I won't be doing so anymore.
Doctrble · 46-50, M
Lack of respect?
hippiechick333 · 56-60, F
@Doctrble that goes without saying... so much for personal freedom...
Picklebobble2 · 56-60, M
I suspect it's a combination of things.
We live in a time when our governments are blaming select groups for the problems they face.
That isolates some and makes fools full of bravado and nonsense, with access to social media at the same time !
That tends to cause a lot of aggro.
The world is full of hate

I don't pay attention to such things, so I dunno what you're referencing.
hippiechick333 · 56-60, F
Good for you @Tatsumi ... I wish I could ignore it also...
Tatsumi · 31-35, M
@hippiechick333 Who says you can't?
hippiechick333 · 56-60, F
My mind... lol
ozgirl512 · 26-30, F
It's often easier to piss someone off then then to refute facts .. Sad but true
I was called a racist earlier tf

@ImDone I see what you’re saying... I don’t think violence is the answer either lol

@ImDone Just because someone doesn’t share your opinions is not a call for anger... nor does it imply ignorance... we can all learn through considering alternative ideas...
Because its easier and it feels better to us. A discussion takes effort. Especially when they are wrong anyway.
hippiechick333 · 56-60, F
@ChairmanofthePool I don’t think any opinion is 100% right or wrong... we can all learn from each other when we listen with open minds...

Childish behavior
hippiechick333 · 56-60, F
@DonaldTrumpet it is very important to love oneself :)
