Reminds me of Cyril Kornbluth’s SF classic “The Marching Morons.” He envisoned the world far in the future. He was an optimist. The year 9-B-936 arrived some years ago.

Internet behavior spilling over into real life.

Plus libtards are by nature extremely violent children in bigger bodies.

When you’re reasonable, you refrain from certain things.

One is the use of force. The other is the threat of force.

I don't think it's unreasonable to use force in self-defense.

The animal has resurfaced - people getting their self-esteem from strutting around, trying to be the big shot, flaunting the bling.

It’s a false bravado. True strength comes from within.

Social media makes it easier for people to ignore those around them. They choose to be uncivil. Ripping the iphones out of their hands won’t change anything.

i...but you’re repeating yourself. Something Mark Twain said, can’t remember the exact quote at the moment./i

I believe it was something like:

"Suppose I was an idiot, and I was in Congress, but then, I repeat myself."

In a war, you kill your enemy. After he surrenders and grovels, then you can be civil

The hew and cry for “civility” only comes forth when the anti-commiescum side of the divide is starting to win ground in the Culture War.

What is meant by “civility”, in such times as this, is for the anti-commiescum side of the fight to sit down, shut up and let the commiescum win.
