I’ve always wondered why most people are mean.
Most people are mean because it's hard to see things from outside of your own perspective. Everyone's fighting their own battles. If someone snaps, it's probably because they had a rough day/week/year/whatever, and from their perspective it's perfectly justified. But to the overwhelming majority of people around them, they're just an ***.

Being nice is exhausting. Putting up a face is exhausting. Listening and being attentive is exhausting. The work-life balance is exhausting. Dealing with peoples' quirks can be exhausting.

Human brains are awesome, but they also kinda suck. One little chemical imbalance that can occur rapidly or over time will completely change how a person interacts with the world around them.

Someone is pulling the strings to make humanity the most miserable ever.

Just see how easily youre incentivated to hate than to love.

The reason is quite easy to understand: basic Sun Tzu: divide to conquer.

Keeping our society toxic thus divided is the best way to control it entirely

I can see Hunger Games happening if this Writer's Strike lasts long enough ^^ Gotta have some new Reality TV.
Reality TV, and human bloodsports on reality TV, were both predicted by Robert Sheckly, SF writer. Let's see when the human bloodsports get here.

Vote. If you don't vote you can't ***.

Not that your one vote has a chance of changing anything but it does give you bitching privileges. And bitching feels good.

Don't give *** a way out by blaming others. There isn't some massive hidden cabal that is pulling our strings- the closest reality to that is what Eiryl said- there's those with the money, and those without.

People think there's only a choice between being an *** or being nice. Truth is there's a 3rd choice I wish more would make- just ignore everyone. You do you, I'll do me, and in the end I don't want company.

We're too connected.

Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World is in fiction.

That just seems really odd to me.
As there is no prophesy section what else could you file it under?

Super Mario RPG remake announced. Huh. I should probably be excited, but I don't think I find the new graphics for it charming. Something something, grumpy old man bias.

I don't know why people find this so 'awesome' or are cheering this on. The sailboats they are attacking aren't exactly 'yachts' by most peoples definitions and they largely aren't owned by a bunch of rich ***. AFAIK they aren't targeting powerboats, only mid size (<45ish ft) sailboats, likely because they are slow, easy targets in comparison.

This isn't something to celebrate. Many people live and make their livelihood on these boats, they aren't Jeff Bezos, and sailing is the most ecologically clean form of travel that exists in this era. There is no reason to celebrate or cheer this on other than being an *** because you think everyone with a sailboat is some billionaire dumping oil into the ocean (spoiler: they aren't).

Finally, took half the day in all my different circles, but FINALLY someone states the truth about these attacks.

The word Yacht is not a direct descriptor, and requires some defining adjective to identify what you're talking about. I often say I grew up on yachts, because my family were sailors and we were racing our 17' Thistle and vacationing on a 35' Catalina. The boats two public school teachers can afford are a far cry from the beauties seen in Succession when most people hear the word Yacht.

I know Shinola about sailing or boats, and I guess I could just ask Celebrindal, but, I mean, who makes their livelihood on sailboats?

It probably depends on where you live, but a lot of the people I knew that lived aboard and cruised made money by working in boatyards along the way. This is in the US east coast, I understand some do it in the tropics as well. Several people I worked with in boatyards in FL lived aboard in neighboring marinas and would relocate every so often.

Others will also travel to vacation destinations and captain or crew ships for charter. I know someone who funded their solo circumnavigation this way, he'd sail to certain destinations and stay there for a period of time as a charter captain while living aboard his very much NOT (didn't even have a motor) yacht.

These days people can work remote too.

The "live" part is probably something that should be emphasized more, I met people who livedaboard from all walks of life, but the people who made money on boats were more of a minority. I don't think non-sailors really have a perspective on how many people live aboard boats, it's akin to vanlife, but been around a lot longer, on the water, and not nearly as expensive.
