> A lot of kids must have grown up never facing and learning to to deal with disagreement

You mean the "anti-maskers" who throw a fit for wearing a face covering for 30min when they have to go to the supermarket?



No because there’s no desire to build or maintain a relationship with the person. You just emotionally reduce them an NPC and do damage control until they are gone. Pretty much how social media works.


Thanks for a good answer, you've got a point, though I suspect it works in similar ways with people you do and don't want to maintain a relationship (and a lot of relationships fail because of similar reasons)

(Unless of course the person is good at manipulation, though eventually things fall apart)


There are plenty of "pro-maskers" who have the same meltdowns. Videos are replete online. It's all just a symptom of a culture that can't handle treating each other like human beings. Like everything is an anonymous forum online.
