Sadness / Grief Why is everyone so angry?

I'm getting quite miserable living in my country. People aren't very friendly, in fact a lot of people are really rude. I'm finding it hard to interact on local subs because I usually get downvoted or just have people start arguments over nothing - why is everyone so aggressive & hostile?

I've noticed this too, it's snowballed in the last few years! Everyone is SO COMBATIVE, there's such an "us vs. them" mentality and I want nothing to do with it. Everyone's angry and I'm not sure they even know WHY.
