I feel like it says a lot that he believes everybody is at each other's throats right now.

Most people seem to have a lot less tolerance for unnecessary bullshit, as in just not having the energy to waste pretending.

I think it's because most people who are aware of reality are also aware that shit is very bad right now, unless you're a Nazi and it's intentional. This country is being held hostage by Nazis trying to goad us into a civil war, and it's kind of psychotic to pretend things are normal.

There are some people who seem to want to pretend the same rules as always still apply, because it makes them feel more in control. They get offended when people don't play along and pretend reality isn't reality, but ... tough shit. This is a fucking ridiculous mess.

I can't help but wonder if he views people no longer pretending to be nice about his bullshit as "everyone being at each other's throats."
