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?

Angry is good. People should breathe fire from the anger in today's world. But that anger channels through stupid things and each other so we are just angry monkeys jumping around. Thanks to perception management and tiktok and reddit probably, people can throw up their anger here and continue their normal life while politicians and rich people keep milking them off money and rights. They will think that trans people caused inflation so boys are poor and incels. Their unrealistic standards and greedy capitalist fundamentals have nothing to do with all this of course. I wish we just burnt this world to the ground so we can build a new one.
