Definitely. It's so fascinating the way social media gives everyone the voice they don't seem to have in real life.

It's probably a good thing when you consider it from an angle, but it also makes for a lot of stupid things being said, and trolls and e-thugs who live in their mother's basement and so on lol.

There's probably a psychology book that deals with this already. I'd definitely like to read it

Hahah ya, it's like an outlet. Probably good in some ways and bad in some ways. Like.. it might be annoying if everyone was blabbing about it. On the other hand, people probably wouldn't be so hysterical if they had to represent their ideas IRL.

I bet it's like.. when you say things out loud and read and intuit the reaction from other people and how you feel, it's a helpful way to stay on track.

I bet a lot of the political things and the whole Trump/SJW dynamic is a reflection of that. There's always been motivation to try to get in the way and beat the other side. In the past it would be tinier things. NOW you can get people to rally behind more hysterical things.

(and it creates an ongoing loop where now something like "oh he ruled on this case in a questionable way" would seem like nothing, and you need increasingly salacious things.)

Enjoy the show bro! You can enjoy it from a distance without worrying about it boiling over lol

Definitely! Thats a great way of seeing it.

Yes, my point exactly. I don't know if I'm being overly sensitive but its the hysteria and the hysteria from the reactions to the hysteria and that loop you mentioned that's killling me haha. But yaa, it IS a helluva show sometimes.

I'll definitely do that haha. Cheers bro.
