You noted yourself in your second point that it's related to "political and financial gain"; this points to capitalism. In your first point, you note that the internet has allowed people to insult, yell, be nasty; I urge you to consider why, and think you will come to see that it relates to uneven power dynamics, uneven social relations, etc, which conflict theory, dialectical materialism, historical materialism, etc. argue is in part a result of capitalism. Your third point is kinda the same point as your first, but within the sphere of electoral politics. If this is new to you, I'd recommend A Good Book, In Theory (Third Edition) by Sears & Cairns, and We Can Do Better by Camfield. Highly recommend both :)
Uh, no. But thanks for stopping by!
