Why can’t we just get along with each other rather than stir the pot? It never ends well.

You sound like Rodney King ...;)

IMO, truth of the matter is ..... I really do not think mankind was meant to get along. How many meliena have guns been around ? & not just for hunting, cannon , catapult, fencing, walls, etc & so-on. Boxing , mixed-martial arts . All are weapons. If we were all meant to get along, we would have never gone passed weapons for hunting.

As for stirring the pot ....... most everyone wants their side to be heard , and believes their side is correct.

Frankly, even the phrase “virtue signalling“ makes me tense. I fear it will provoke division among us.

I had to look up to find out what the phrase means. Who makes this stuff up and why?

I looked it up a few months ago to find out what it means. A lot of this stuff is made up on Social Media. I've heard some people on Facebook think the posts on Facebook are the Gospel Truth. No I do not have or will have an account with Facebook.

Psychiatrists and Psychologists so they can charge more for something you don't understand instead of just calling it "a disingenuous moral view point" or sell you pills you can't afford nor need...when you just need a swift kick in the butt☺️ (to the professional members here...I'm just joking)

You are right Driver, sadly, the comments have already begun.

I have an account on Facebook, but locked it down and never look at whatever my page is supposed to be. My only use of Facebook is when I take an online class and the instructor has a private Facebook page for the students.

As for social media, I have no interest. All I hear about is the squabbling. I have seen more than enough of that around here, which leaves me frequently re-evaluating my presence here too.

It seems like most of the internet sites are dealing with lots of squabbling anymore. People have gone bonkers and that's all they do is fight and be hateful to each other. It's discouraging to say the least.

People are home more, nothing to do to get rid of their excess energy... fed up being alone or stuck with a partner who they fight with all the time..or maybe fight with strangers online instead...

Is that why my Butt is so sore?
 
When you're a hammer, everything you see is a nail.

If an anonymous posting on an internet site provides an outlet for pent-up anger and stress or if instigating a war of words on line prevents such action face to face, maybe it's a good thing. It's very easy for anyone not interesting in engaging to just move on to something else.

...ahhh but you gotta remember that attacking people ..albeit faceless people on an internet forum.. may mean you're attacking those who are already suffering...
