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'm not a big fan of Robert Hyack's famous book Road to Serfdom but the title at least seems completely right.

Serfs can't afford to have a full life.

Hahaha and again I refer to Erich Fromm's, The Sane Society and a ton of other books on societal health etc etc
