Often, people discount others' beliefs. I see moderate conservatives and liberals attempting to keep their identity as the climate shifts ever more rightward. Alt-left and alt-right groups are battling it out in a tug-o-war, making it harder and harder to keep one's head intelligently on their shoulder. Fringe conservatives are lashing out, and fringe liberals are taking advantage. Independents are being forced to pick a side, many of them running like lemmings to the closest quasi-belief they can find. It's absolutely... ludicrous.

First of all, everyone has a right to their own opinion, but just know that the Internet, the grand place where people watch cat videos and get into arguments with strangers, is not the best place to speak about anything, and I mean anything. Just the other day I saw someone lying about them having money, and then someone commented that they found a Creative Commons stock photo of the same exact image. They got into an argument, and it sucked many other people into it as well...

Yes, Barney: why? Human nature mostly, but one thing that I can find that has a sliver of correlation that is relevant is the current political climate.

We are becoming savages, primordial beings loving chaos and entropy. Don't get me wrong, just like Jorgan Von Strangle from Fairly Odd Parents, I do get a small chuckle from bouts of chaos every now and then, just not the chaos that I have been seeing recently.

Facebook used to be my safe haven of watching good cooking videos and keeping up on science articles. I loved sharing that stuff. I mean in the early years of my account, I did post edgy and nonsensical potpourri, but with all that is going on, everything is political hogwash.

Personally, I believe people have the right to have their own opinion and to do whatever they want on the Internet. It is the Internet after all, but there are certain items that should affect how you post:

1. Morality

2. Sensibility

3. Care

First of all, everything that you post on social media in the first place, in my opinion, must follow your own morality. Employers look at your social media all the time, and if you post something like, "I wish those kids in front of the White House were plowed with a snow plow" (which was a fake news article, but I think I posted a clear enough picture), DON'T POST IT.

I swear ridiculousness is getting out of hand here.

Secondly, sensibility needs to be taken into account. Is it going to offend a majority of people? Being utilitarian has to be mainstay, and you must use sensibility and morality in conjunction with each other. Think of it this way: if you were to post that snowplow comment, is it because you are trying to be funny? That isn't humor anymore. Stop.

Lastly, care is important. More importantly, take heed on your words. You don't know what people are looking into your statements and who is a part of a pseudo-revolutionary Internet cabal capable of using a botnet to harass you without care of resources...

Just be human. I absolutely can't stand that people are using religion to justify their statements, and more importantly, Christian teachings. Jesus surrounded himself with undesirables not because it made him feel important, but to make them important. "The meek shall inherit the Earth." "The poor will be wealthy." I mean come on. The level of compassion in this religion overshadows your overzealous attitudes and brainless dynamic. Even Pastafarians have more morality than you.

This brings me to my final point: why are these stereotypes sometimes true? It's because of society and its history. Educate yourselves in a higher institution, or even just high school, about why crime rates are higher in certain sectors of the city or why there's another opioid crisis.
