Why has anger increased in American society?

[Bathory]

Because politics has finally hit the point where it's more about saying "FUCK YOU" to the other side rather than actual policy. Misleading news, fake political posts swarming social media etc. People are uninformed and emotional versus educated and responsible. Who would have thought all of this information and knowledge at our fingertips would just be wasted.

Personally, I like to think we're getting better, it's just the fringe sides getting the headlines because that's what makes for good stories.

That's annoying too.

[Deleted]

Because politics today is all about us vs them.

And the internet didn't do humanity any favours either, spreading mis-information and feeding people news that they would be better of not knowing.

Embrace it, let it flow through you, use it to go whoop someone's ass.

With all this taco related stress Tuesdays must be very difficult for you.

It seems like after the election hatred and anger has increased. What has changed in our society to allow such a thing to happen? What should we do to put America on the path to happiness?

Another low quality thread from you.

Who's angry? I'm Liberal and am not upset about the election. In my travels I don't generally come across angry people.

Pay people a fucking living wage.

Stop making our laws and policies designed to favor a small number of super rich businesses and MAKE THE HUGE MULTI-BILLION DOLLAR COMPANIES PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE IN TAXES.

Money. Slow demise of the great middle class. First generation that will be worse off than their parents. Unemployment near all time lows but only the ultra rich have recovered from the great recession while the general population continues to go downhill. It's the kind of trend that leads to the election of people like Trump. And it will get worse regardless of which party wins next.

I'm not angry either. However, I am disappointed in many of you and your views on public policy.

Some of you come across like you want to find some isolated place and just be on your own away from civilization. Well, don't let us delay you. GTFO. The rest of us are trying to create a social structure that serves everyone and not just an elite few.

Who cares if you're disappointed though?

While I was reading, I came across this quote which seemed rather appropriate for the general theme of this thread:

“Men will not accept truth at the hands of their enemies, and truth is seldom offered to them by their friends”

I think this tendency is easily exploited by some, and takes effort to rise above. If people wish to conquer their anger based what I mentioned in my previous post, it requires an open mind to construct rational outcomes versus devolving to emotional instinct.

Haha good point

Identity politics and idiots.

It hasn't noticeably in my opinion. Look at NY and LA in the 70's and 80's, de facto failed states.

You have to work somewhere other than Burger King or McDonalds if you want a living wage.

Low skilled job = low wages

High skilled job = high wages

Amazingly simple concept yet so many people fail to understand it.
