If the majority of your interactions with the world are through the internet, yes. If the majority of your interactions and in person, nah, shit is the same it’s always been.
Disagree. In real life the past few years I’ve had more people flip out at me, and at each other than I have through all of my 20s and 30s. People are very much losing it. Also just look at the massive uptick in road accidents and road rage in the past 5 years.
Last time anyone tried to fight me I was like 15. I’ve had 3 incidents where someone tried to random fistfight me in the past 4 years. Numerous others where people were screaming at each other, often using slurs. I’ve also had random people approach me and scream in my face. These are rarely homeless or mentally ill folks, they are well-dressed people who are just insanely angry and go off on me about my ‘face’ or what I am wearing.
Pandemic and social media broke a lot of people and they are on a rampage of rage and hate. I also noticed a huge uptick in self-pity in my city. 10 years ago people were optimistic and felt good and positive, now they are miserable and cry about how poor they are, even when they are objectively wealthy.
