Yup, when you have blacks randomly attacking Asians, you know something is wrong.

Covid lockdown are making criminals more bold to act crazy. There’s a mass shooting everyday.

We knew this was going to happen, but democrats just don’t care.

Many people have always been cruel and mean. I dealt with some people being mean and cruel during the late 1990s/early 2000s. People have been mean in cruel in the 1980s, 1970s,1960s, 1950s, and every time before that.

Let’s try to have a civil conversation here. No need to rant about the left or right. No need for name calling.

Why is there so much hate in the USA? What is causing it?
The corrupt crooked system which the politicians love. Keep the people divided, and keep the campaign money flowing. Then you've got the media fanning the flames every step of the way.

The racial hatred directed at WHITES is off the charts. The cultural terrorists have made it okay to attack whites as their agenda has been to make us sub-human.

What?? Society has gotten WAY more "progressive" in these last couple decades, WAY LESS religious/Christian.


Think that's a coincidence that we now live in a grotesque, NASTY society where there is hatred everywhere at the same time that the disease of "progressivism" has been shoved down all our throats?


Not even for a half a second. But you know that.

They'd experience even less if they shut off their social media i.e. it's (far) more interactive.

All people are doing watching these shows is finding narratives that matches theirs. Then they are never happy again. Ninety five percent of these cables news shows are biased to their advertisers.

Like I said before. Hatred and racism aren't getting worse. It's getting recorded, and social media is merely a reflection of what has always been. And many people will only listen to what lines up with their own beliefs. There has always been alot of hate in the United States of America. Race riots have been the norm for America from the very beginning.

Maybe we were better off when it was easier to avoid the hate. If what you are saying is true, then I grew up in a bubble where there wasn't all this hate. And you know what? I'm very glad I did. I feel bad for you that you didn't. But clearly we all grew up in our own bubbles. You grew up in your own bubble too. One which involved a lot of hate.

I think we would have been better off if the non-hate bubbles expanded and overtook the hate bubbles, rather than the other way around. I think that may be the difference between liberal thinking and conservative thinking. It seems to me like liberal thinking is often focused on expanding the misery.
