What the fuck did you just say about me, you little shit-lemming, I graduated top of my class in The Art of Fediverse Debates and I have over 300 confirmed [removed by mod].

I can win a debate in over 9000 ways, and that's only considering text, not only do I have access to the dankest arsenal of Leftist Memes, but I also have control of a massive army of bot accounts¹ ready to brigade you and downvote you into lemm-blivion.

¹/joke I do not have any of such thing

If all people around you are always angry, maybe it's you?

It's not all people, just most. Despite the name I'm not angry most of the time.

That's kind of cliché, honestly. It's a common assumption that in reality doesn't necessarily always hold true. It may even be an appeal ad populum.

The easiest counterexample is to say that it's entirely possible to be surrounded by assholes, while being one of a few people who isn't a jerk (perhaps being loosely defined as someone who makes an effort to be respectful and considerate of others, an increasingly rare characteristic).

If we reject that claim, then it makes it virtually impossible to make a valid social critique, as it gives a free pass to anything that's a collective responsibility or widespread issue. If the norm is to be a jerk, then the culpability would rest on anyone who resists conformity, according to that logic.

It also normalizes abusive behavior. Often an abuser will push their victim past the breaking point, then use the result to smear the victim in the public eye, making the victim look like the bad one. Or on a larger scale, in an oppressive society, it would make the only ones willing to stand up look like the bad guys, making it a convenient tool of oppression.
