Live and let live...

When did we as a society lose the ability to allow others to live their life as they choose without having to confront them with our beliefs and opinions, causing division and friction simply over a difference of opinion?

Given the unorthodox nature of swinging you'd have thought this community would embrace those in minority groups more openly.

Maybe Mike Tyson was right that "Social media made y'all way too comfortable with disrespecting people and not getting punched in the face for it." -Mike Tyson

To me an excessive interest in the lives of others implies there is little of interest in one's own life.

Seems like it's more vitriolic now. People get aggressive more quickly with opposing views.

Because they’ve got platforms to air them now, sadly.

I think it's probably that there's more of a platform for the average person to expunge their views. You no longer need to earn the right to have your innermost bollocks distributed to everyone. It's just there

The internet has replaced the pub, the doorstep/garden fence and church social. I think people feed off of others aggression and say things to each other they wouldn't dream of saying face to face.

Together we stand, divided we fall.

A long used saying, but it seems the echo amplification chambers love to fuel it. I'm not sure so many people are so hateful as the demographic wars suggest.

Find your allies and hold them tight, if possible. Soon, it could all go to shit.

As above, don't let them split us.
