"Hatred is a failure of imagination" - Graham Greene, "The Power and the Glory"
An example of displaced aggression** AKA kick-the-cat-syndrome.
On the Internet, protected by their anonymity and assured of their safety, very unhappy people are allowed to vent their frustrations by calling other people names, demeaning various groups of people, yada, yada, yada. It serves no useful purpose except for the venter to release their frustrations.
And with Son of the Revolution, jakemax and several others, they have a lot of frustration. IMO, an unhealthy amount.
FWIW, better for them to call me names than for them to abuse their spouses, kids, pets, neighbors, etc.
**Displaced aggression occurs when it is impossible or unwise to respond aggressively toward the source of the provocation or frustration.
