Exactly, I just saw a post today about someone's grandpa barricading himself in his house and fearing the eclipse would kill him. On the comments section everyone was insulting him, treating him like an idiot. I couldn't help but feeling this was not a result of poor media choice as everyone was suggesting but an underlying medical illness.

I really hope mental illnesses would be better treated and that people in very edge cases would spend more time in counseling and maybe less time on the internet.

Also, in general, people are quick to insult others online. Somehow it's easier to degrade someone online than I'm person, and there's less incentive to look for the common ground.

That also can't be healthy.

Linking to a fascist site to downplay the negative effects of fascism is a hell of a move.

Let me guess, your parents are fascist for making you pay rent to live in their basement?
