The hatred online is scary. Can there ever be a civil discussion or argument on anything these days? Or is everyone now beholden to a digital lynch mob.
It is a thought that has come to millions of us who love going online to plug into what’s happening. But it is becoming more difficult to read, participate and observe a discussion. Because all that is out there is extreme opinions. It is kill, punish, hit, in response to anything that you don’t agree with. And there seems to be a complete unwillingness to read, or understand, or listen to all sides in any discussion. Online extremists first attack the person who has a different opinion, his company, his past, his religion, anything they can get on the personal front. They rarely offer any argument or a convincing reason that supports their point of view.
