Are people more hostile now than say..7 years ago?
I've noticed that people are more hostile and seem to have a stick up their xxx compared to a decade ago when misc was more mainstream.
People seem more Redditor like, and competitive in a weird way.
My diagnosis: social media makes people insecure
...uptick in amateur porn making people think they are inadequate for not getting laid...less funny chill forums like misc and more Reddit.
What say you, misc?

Undoubtedly. I remember skating all over Hollywood and people being relatively friendly and approachable half the time. Now a days it's like everyone is absorbed in their own little world, is totally unapproachable, and generally unfriendly.

Definitely.
The soil is very depleted in nutrients due to over farming and pesticides etc, so people are low in magnesium and copper especially. This causes certain personality defects. Nevermind the constant MSM fear propaganda and gaslighting that people subject themselves to.

Also if someone doesn't feel they're cool enough and insecure, they'll get even more chitty and act out in some way to compensate. Or avoid you if they feel they can't one up you

Of course. Who wouldn't be on edge now after the summer of 2020? The riots revealed how rotten large parts of American society had become. Not only is there a greater danger of actual violence, but you always have to worry about some person recording you doing something Twitter doesn't like and thus ruining your life.

Yes there's lots of angry/hostile people these days you see it on the road, social media or pretty much anywhere now lots of places just have hostile energy instead of the wholesome/uplifting/constructive energy of pre 2015

Zoomers and late millennials are definitely off socially and seem to only care about their social media bubbles. They are the most brainwashed/consumer generation imo. The cutoff seems to be about 30 since people older than that grew up in a time when social media and smart phones weren't as prevalent.

Anyone else think misc not showing up at top of search results have to do with this? I remember searching random stuff on Google as insecure teenager, finding a misc thread about it, and then laughing the matter off because of the funny posts. This easy going attitude definitely spilled over into real life
I wasn't a miscerr then btw.

It's like they honestly seem to be unable to connect to anyone or anything around them, all of their connections revolve around their inner circle and social media.

The misc is definitely the type of place that can help you make sense of things, and discuss topics with people who aren't quick to turn hostile in a vain attempt to win an argument for clout.

I had a bunch of old friends in town last night(all in their mid 30s), but the crew I party with is all largely in their early or mid 20s right now. I ended up spending about 6 hours yesterday with each group drinking.
It could have been because the 30s crew was 6 hours at the beginning of the night, but I felt so much better after spending time with them than I did at the end of the night with my younger 20 year old friends. The older friends are all offering help, offering to make future plans and do cool things. Inviting me to come stay with them, etc. While the younger friends do some of this, it's mostly everyone being rather selfish and talking about constant nonsense for hours on end and going to bed way too late for absolutely no reason. Girls pulling random dudes off of the street and bringing them over to my house to chill before going back to have sex. Just draining with very little benefit, but it is kinda fun for the Summer.

I'm just cruising around town right now on a Sunday night and people are still acting aggressive I just don't get why so many people are hostile like this nowadays
Is it social media? Obesity? Propaganda?
I mean why are so many people so on edge now and melodramatic now?
