Not in the least.
A. Todays "society" is far less violent than it was only a scant 20+- years ago. Look it up. We've just become far less open to opposing viewpoints, perhaps on both sides. Now we can't discuss and have conversation, we must demonize. Disagree with me?!? You MUST be a ..., ..... Whatever that may be.
It's childish, close minded, and counter productive to an open and suppose free society.
B. If we can't have open, civil, perhaps "Oooofensive" discussions without words like racist, bigot, homophobe, or whatever else being tossed out from the git, why don't we all just scream each other is "Hitler", call it a day and go back to tumblr or reddit?
It's gotten to the point of caricature ridiculousness. Not everything's an affront. Not everyone that may have a differing opinion, however slight or considerable, is an "enemy" worthy of destroying.
We haven't gotten more violent in this society,
We have simply lost our collective F%^ing minds.
Chilllll, folks. Just Chill.
If we all do that, we'll all be good, and together, in the end.
