Comment sections and Yabberz
I know no one will read this, but every time I read a comment section on an article, it just gives more evidence to the case that humanity should not be allowed to continue. I am sure someone in the far future will eventually read this and say "yeah, I've seen that too", and in all likelihood someone else will write a comment calling me a "bigoted socialist who is a zombie for Nancy Pelosi", which is a good example of the kinds of comments seen. Like this one, an honest-to-goodness comment I did not make up but pulled off an article's comment section, "Why do democrats want to encourage communism to grow and spread? It's
because the majority of the democratic party is made up of Communist,
Socialist, Fascist, Marxist, Muslims, and every other anti America human
piece of garbage that lives on the planet. Isn't it funny that
democrats have demonized republicans as domestic terrorists though." That is a real comment, completely insane, and there are plenty of other examples, usually on Disqus. And there's also this site called Yabberz, which I months ago joined, thinking it'd be a good place to discuss, but soon I saw a different picture, more of the same idiots form the comment boards, plus some new ones, and mostly under the control of the right-wing. For example, I started a discussion about the Sony leak and Idris Elba as James Bond, and after several posters made racist comments, I called them out on it, but instead they and a few new posters accused me of "playing the race card". I was pointing out their racism, and they made me the bad guy? And some other posts of theirs, like one guy using drug-dealing as a way to explain economics to "us leftists", and I quit the site, but not before telling them off. Yabberz is full of those right-wing idiots and "independents" who claim to be "more mature", and they basically took over. Point is, if you look at comment sections, you realize that these people actually exist, and you wonder "Wait, why am I looking to help humans again?".

lol, from the distant future I have come to fulfill your prophecy. You see, I just got doing a "tour" of Yabberz. Pretty cool setup, being able to edit you post with pictures, videos, links. A damn great Idea. But, just like you. It has clearly made me loose my hop for humanity. I finally lost it, and now have been banned. I like how you addressed that it was every part of the "political" spectrum. Although, these days it is almost all coming from the so called LEFT. The place is so bad it almost made me a Trump supporter out of spite. I was Bernie and now Jill, if that gives you a better Idea of my thinking. I have never experienced so much hate, ad hominem attacks, and ridicule my entire life - then I did in those 4 months. It was especially brutal the last week. I was so "butt hurt" :) That I ended up publishing something like this, but..I had took all their comments and replied to them - My way of giving them one last Fu(k You for Humanity. I also found out one had been conspiring for at least a week too ban me. Persuading others to join him to get it done too. An absolute hate fest. The "good" ones were few and far between. So, I feel ya. As they say "This too shall end". I have never been "angry" for this long - at least I can't remember being. Actually it's more of a disappointment in what I had hoped for the future. Because clearly humanity hasn't evolved much. With that, I leave it for the next person to further fulfill your prophecy.
