Outrage in the Comments Section: Why You So Angry Tho?

from Healing is Hilarious with Rachel LaForce · host Rachel LaForce

There are two things I need to share with you before you dive in. 1.) I experimented with a new program, and the sound is not great, so I apologize and won't be using it again. 2.) This entire episode is a stream of consciousness, thought experiment. I appreciate you tuning in to hear me try to find what I value about this topic, and how I want to expose it moving forward. Now that that's out of the way. Let's talk some trash huh? LOLZ. If you've been following along on Instagram, you know I am on a tear about how we have gotten to this point, and I'm aware of the obvious. Culture Wars. 2016. Trump. Covid. Vaccine debates and more. But that is what is on the outside. What is it about US, as humans that we have allowed ourselves to become the marionettes to folks making billions off of watching us fight each other that we have gotten to the place of being so hateful to complete strangers in the comments section about videos as innocuous as "my toddler said the funniest thing yesterday!" and we're out here like, "That isn't even that funny" "He's four. Technically *NOT* a toddler" "BAD MOM!"  After seeing YouTube's Ms. Rachel step away from her socials due to bullying; we've officially jumped the shark here friends. If a women who teaches babies what sound a dog makes has to step away?! This is the call to action we've been waiting for.  Let's talk anger, healing and get our shit together. I hope this sparks some interesting conversations for you as well. More on this, cause I'm a dog with a bone now y'all.  Tune out, tune in. Love you, mean it!
