Welp, guess I gotta keep working and paying taxes and all that good stuff. And if I'm paying taxes, then you bet your bippy I'm going to have opinions about things and vote accordingly.
I don’t think it’s depression—these are people who make a point of being buttheads. Responses like: “So what?” “If only you could look that up yourself..” “Yes, you’re the only one…” “No, nobody else does that” “Yes you’re the asshole” in response to everything. I don’t think they’re depressed—I think they’re deliberately being assholes. There are people on reddit who seem to be trying to get the lowest karma count they can.

Or people who sign up on a message board with a deliberately extreme username and post highly insulting essays about entire groups of ppl. Just blocked one of those yesterday, in fact.
