Outside of AGN, I've seen a lot of ignorance and just all around rude replies to a lot of things. As someone who is fairly perceptive, the world as a whole seems to be going downhill in an extremely fast spiral. Between Covid, civil unrest of a violent nature, and just a really bad year in general; a lot people have become far less... I'll say civil.
And i have my days as well where i can be a bit hostile in some situations that don't really warrant it. For me, I've had a multitude of things in my life that have become major issues recently that have degraded my ability to deal with certain situations in a level headed approach. A lot of people, particularly those who have lost income and housing due to the world's issues, have lost a lot of their ability to handle things in a polite manner.
This includes myself, i find that i often consider simply packing up all my hiking and wilderness gear and making off to the woods for a solitary existence away from anything to do with society and it's constant discontent. That is to say, i would have a lot of coming issues in that regard, many of them legal thanks to ridiculous laws over hunting and travelling with things like an airgun. But as the year comes to a close, i can't help but notice that the animosity continues to escalate among society and it's divided masses.
Without bringing political discussion into this, something that is difficult at the moment when discussing this, it seems that things are only going to get worse in the times to come. In return, i find myself considering leaving society even more regardless of the abovementioned possibility of legal issues with said hunting and travelling.
We are living in a time where many of the old morals and such have been lost, respect is dying and ignorance is replacing it at a horrifying rate. So much so that it has begun to infect the masses like a disease run rampant. If I'm being honest, as honesty is my preferred, i don't see society repairing itself before the fecal excrement impacts the vertical oscillator. At which point any and all moral inclination will be dropped and society will revert to a tribal existence. There will be war on a scale seen only in places where things like feudal warlords still exist, but spread across the world in an animalistic regression of human nature. We can only hope that "this too shall pass" as nothing more than a theory, but until then we can only accept what is and hope that things do not escalate beyond it's current state of affairs. As it was once said, it shall be said again, Igitur qui desiderat pacem, praeparet bellum ("Therefore let him who desires peace get ready for war.").
I pray that i am wrong in this, but history tells us that we cannot deny the fact that this has become a repeat of histories worst times relived. We are doomed to repeat history, it is the human nature it seems.
