People are being ugly more foul and offensive than ever

More confrontational, profane, unhinged, rude, and entitled acting than ever, and are proud of and defensive of their awful behavior. Why?

The problem is that absent that kind of surety, people are grasping, making things up, believing things that are unsupported or unreasonable just because their psyche requires SOMETHING, anything. It's a mental health crisis.
