some people are just trolls but afk as well….
just think about how many internet trolls there are… and write anything disagreeing with anything and a troll will find it and try to argue the opposite side.:. but disingenuously and with the sole purpose of pissing you off….
then if you look at their post history, it’s entirely that sort of thing.
then you have to realize that they’re not all just edgey teenagers exploring the dark side, most of them are full grown adults.
i think a lot of loud trumpets are just trolls living the roll. moral outrage is very entertaining for them because they don’t feel real emotions or have moral motivations….
i’ve heard that america has a much larger percentage of psychopaths because of the way the country was founded… a: genocide, and b: people leaving their family and friends behind probably forever, to gamble on a future…
I work with a person like that and it's driving me up a wall.
He starts arguments for the sake of arguments. He is extremely vocal about anything that he knows will cause any sort of disagreement with anyone. Actively looks for ways to pit other people against each other. Endlessly talking shit to and about everyone. Just an annoying, toxic person. Leadership sees him as harmless, but he is a real cause of a lot of drama in the workplace. Usualy not Involving him directly, but often caused or stirred up by him. Motivated entirely by two things, his amusement, and his money. Everyone else just exists in his world to amuse him.
collage educated, smart, reletivly successful. But fucking toxic.
My point is you are absolutly correct. These people exist. They are emotional stunted and live for cause problems for others. It's kinds funny for a little bit but gets realy fucking old realy fast.
