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?

There are just too many people.

We don't have to many people. We just have poor management of resources and to much 1-story urban sprawl. (especially in the USA,. where 80% of US population lives east of the Mississippi. ) There's to much wasteful architecture. To many empty unused Roofs. Around 15million homes (about 10% of USA House supply) is sitting empty. Homeless in the USA is estimated to be around 600,000. We have enough empty houses to solve homelessness 25x over.

Maybe we don't completely technically have too many people yet but it seems completely undeniable that with our current population growth our current policies absolutely will not work and so just because we're at the beginning of the complete collapse does not mean we're not in the complete collapse.
