And a lot of people enjoy being angry because it gives them an intoxicating sense of moral superiority.

Because what you're saying is if I say, Chris, you are immoral.

You're doing things wrong.

You're a terrible person.

What I'm actually saying is I'm doing it better.

I'm doing it better and I feel good about myself.

I've elevated myself by pushing you down.

And that's why a lot of this happens.

It's not that people, like people enjoy being angry.

They want to be angry because it makes them feel good about themselves.

And if you see it through that lens, why is everyone so pissed off?

Why is social media so negative?

Because it feels great.

It can feel great to hate other people, especially on social media where you don't need to do it to their face.

You don't need to physically attack the person.

You just write this, and I feel great about myself.

The only way that I can really measure what my morality is is if I identify people who are below me.

And that's why it feels great to identify people below me and constantly be looking for them and reminding them that they're below me.

I'm just here to look out for you.

I mean, there's another version of this joke that goes around that girls like telling other girls that they should cut their hair short.
