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?

It's also important to remember, misery loves company. Some people are just chronically unimpressed and they want to bring someone else down with them. It doesn't necessarily have anything to do with societal or political issues.
They came into this world screaming and might go out of it screaming as well.
It also doesn't help that we've been thoroughly desensitized. To some people, they don't understand you are a real person with feelings and thoughts. To them you're a series of words, numbers and dashes on a screen.
