@JaggedLittlePill defence mechanism for what?

@JovialPlutonian People have defense mechanisms that kick in when they are uncomfortable.
The shitheads defend themselves by spewing hyperbolic bullshit...because they do not know what the fuck is actually going on. To make up for that they use defense mechanisms. Projection onto others.
The non-shitheads become sick and tired of the bullshit and opposition to reality, they start losing their civility and become just as oppositional to the shitheads.
We are all at each others throats now. All of us have the potentional to be shit heads.

Your comment is the wrong way round. Harsh though we may still be, we are a massive improvement on our primitive ancestors and -difficult though it may be to accept, demonstrably less harsh than even the daily barbarities of our immediate predecessors. A seminal study by Steven Pinker "The Better Angels of Our Nature: Why Violence Has Declined" demonstrates this trend over human history with near mathematical precision. Worth a read.

@april50 that’s doesn’t make the experience any less unpleasant lol

@JovialPlutonian I was merely commenting on the presumption that we had somehow deteriorated to the current state of harshness, whereas the reality is that, taken as a whole, humanity is progressively becoming less harsh. We are still a load of shits, but not quite as bad as our predecessors!

@april50 oh I accept what you’re saying I just do see that as justification for how we still choose to behave. I suppose it all comes down to ignorance, should be of no surprise humans lack awareness.
