I notice that often (not always) inflammatory comments are written by those who frequent politics related communities.

In addition to being straight up antagonistic, the comments often are about labeling and categorizing everything. Like if someone posted a meme or made a joke. It can’t just simply be taken at face value. The commenter is compelled to categorize it, label it, assume there is an underlying agenda. It has to be Russian or Chinese propaganda, it’s far-left or far right, its LGBTQ related, it’s incel related, it’s promoting some agenda somehow.

When I go to check their profile it is very common that the individual frequently comments in politics related communities.

Man, not everything on the planet needs to be politics related. There’s not a deep state agenda for everything. Memes and jokes are sometimes dumb and silly and no one is trying to promote anything. There is actually a type of humor called Surreal humor or Absurdist humor which like sarcasm seems like a lot of people just don’t get.

Politics really rots people’s brains.

    go to your cities facebook page sometime or god forbid nextdoor. People are fully addicted to being online, and mad. You’ll see the same people pop up time and time again, forcing their opinions on things that are completely irrelevant. There can be a picture of a park on a nice day and these people will fly off the handle about liberals or lgbtq or something.

    They literally can’t help it anymore, it’s a dopamine drip for them. They get to feel superior for a split second, then move onto the next post.
