The Great Raging Id.

One of the most intriguing aspects of this to me is that in spite of our total acceptance of it currently, we didn't see it coming at all.

Ultima Online, one of the first MMOs, allowed people to do "bad" stuff like steal from or kill other players, but made the assumption that such things wouldn't happen much because the in-game society would regulate itself like a real face-to-face society. ...Yeah, didn't work out so well.

Makes me wonder what the next few generations that grow up with social media representing a hugely significant chunk of their human interaction will be like. Maybe I'm just cynical, but it's a scary thought.

Thing is many people think they are annonymous when acting like a spoiled teenager. They aren't.

I do agree with Bill Maher however, there are more poor in this nation than at any other time besides the great depression, and while most poor used to think themselves middle class, now it is the opposite. It has created a lot of rage in a lot of people.

Best 'New Rules' in some time.

Even in olden times, the poor knew they were poor. But at least they felt they had some status in society, because there was a lower caste to look down on. A President Obama has destroyed even that consolation.

Bill Maher, a raging Islamophobe, complains about Americans not liking Brown people.

Do you imagine that to be a contradiction?

No, people didn't hate before...yes they did.

Bill obviously hasn't heard of John Gabriel's Greater Internet Dickwad Theory:
