That's our nature. We always have been and always will be. The only difference is that now it's way more convenient.
With that said, I deleted my twitter a year ago. I deleted facebook three months ago, and left reddit for lemmy two months ago. It's actually been really great for my mental health to not know what everyone I know is thinking all of the time, and I still have messenger if they need to to get in touch with me. Do I miss an event here and there? Yes, but it's worth it for the amount of stuff I don't have to see anymore.
People who are shitty to others seem to use this excuse - it's just who everyone is.
But no, it isn't.
It's not an excuse or an opinion. It's the history of our species.
The only difference now is it's just a lot easier to be that way.
It is an opinion, and a wrong one. Not only does that cloud your world view with toxicity, but the human species literally would've died out if we had not worked together and cooperated to make villages and advance our species out if the stone age.
Thank you for your point of view. I appreciate that.
