5. Uh, this place is full of bullying

Pile-ons, brigades, etc. It happens almost daily.

Then there are this weekend's threads where a parade is practically being thrown because a religious guy died of Covid after not taking it seriously.

Get any group of people together in any protected group, and you will see a mob-like, bullying mentality take hold, where Others are no longer worthy of the respect and dignity that merely being human affords.

Every little in-group has its roving gang of bullies. The idea this is somehow special to gaming or the Right is laughable.

Mirrors are sold at Target, and some people are in desperate need. Not sure when everyone went full Elizabeth I, but I don't think the pandemic helped. Look at what's going on with restaurants.

When society doesn't enforce decency, decency won't reign.

Right or Left.
