re: #240 freetoken

I’ve been contending for some time that this was going to get worse. The underlying failure of many people in their own families/homes - lost jobs, lost houses, broken marriages, etc - is a well from which all sorts of pathologies can draw.

We see a lot of pathologies on the internet. Some really “driven” people if were to be kind. People hiding behind anonymous names. Lashing out at our leaders or those they share the internet with. Many of them have significant mental health issues that remain unresolved. Many, as I’ve said before, are suffering from significant PTSD from 9/11. The re-kindling of racism against blacks having been born from not only the election of our first black president but as an outgrowth, a branch if you will or an evolution, from the anti-Arab sentiment because of 9/11. So after almost 10 years of rampant Arab hatred this almost became routine for them. That sentiment and hatred conditioned people to become the monsters many of them are today.
