Outside of the internet, I ask this question.

I find people think the Internet and the "real world" are two different things. I don't find this to be true, and I've seen people I know well entirely change their personality after hours of being angry just because a telephone call rings and they are practiced at changing for it. Similarly, I witness people who change while driving an automobile compared to their normal domestic behavior. It's all part of the same person and acting like it isn't real is denial of a lot of human history of other media.

All your points about homeless and and male identity crisis with mental health I find are true. And we clearly have the resources and information systems of connecting real people to real problems, one on one. But there hasn't really been a social movement of the Internet to make friends and use real identities - even when social media often started that way with local area-code BBS systems and users groups... and even LAN gaming.

We need true social leaders who cross national boundaries and say the kind of things that were said during civil rights movements. Someone could start with doing a world-wide grieving over the pandemic deaths, we weren't allowed to visit the people who died at the hospital or in quarantine at home. It seems like an obvious social positive to have a funeral, every society has a funeral, why not a world wide one for a world-wide pandemic? But I keep watching as nobody organizes it.

Why are we so shitty to each other indeed.

For whatever reason, people like to be better than others. It's something I've never understood and I always try my best to be humble because of it and don't really get off on being competitive like a lot of people do.

Well but we as a community need to not be horrified by it and be helpful. And a lot of people are ready to help, but aren't asked, or overestimate their ability to. And politics isn't all of life, either!
