I’ve posted quite a bit on here since I created my account, posts I consider non-controversial, since I’m not interested in arguing or getting into heated topics like politics. Even so, I still get the occasional snarky comment. Out of curiosity, I sometimes check the person’s post history when I see something like that, and without fail, their profile is full of snarky, negative, or hateful posts overall. It always makes me wonder: do people like this genuinely get enjoyment from surrounding themselves with negativity? What’s the thought process behind it?

      To me it seems that it’s distorted perception. The voting on these comments shows that the ‘Americans’ are in the majority. The fear that every contrary opinion is Russian propaganda turns the comment section into hell for them.

      That list is missing like 50 countries that the US has majorly fucked up for money/oil/power in the last half century, do they not get a pass?
