I mean, yeah, but also we made machines to feed us interesting things and it turns out we really like to be mad for some reason (justified or otherwise) and we’ll share things to make others mad too. Throw in a profit motive, economic woes due to said profit motive, and it’s over.
Part of our animal nature is to be tribalistic, and we don’t often get a lot of that in our daily lives so that people find ways to feed that need. Tribalism involves violent intent about outgroups that don’t conform to our “tribe” (read: pack).
