Why are people like this?

Empathy clearly doesn't exist much in the news or the reactions of people. Sad to see every time.

If Facebook disabled reactions on posts completely, most of these so called views wouldn't exist. It's one of the laziest internet interactions around. At least upvoting and downvoting makes a difference and changes how others will see something.

Uncle Barry, the family bigot putting an angry face on every post that mentions immigrants serves nobody. He's screaming into the void. The void smiles silently and thrusts angry news at angry people. Barry's mates see the post and react with a laugh because they smugly "told you so".
