People Are Asking If They're Jerks On The Internet

This trend seems about right where we are right now.

People are sharing the AITA threads on Reddit all over the Internet right now, but that's not the most mind-boggling thing happening. No, it's that people are sharing their most humiliating or dark or even cruel moments online and asking strangers to judge them on the Internet. A few years ago, had I heard about this, I certainly wouldn't have believed it. I like to believe that everyone is doing their best, even when they make mistakes.

But now I'm not so sure. I've had so many people tell me that it's survival of the fittest if I die because I have chronic illnesses and they don't like the inconvenience of a mask. I've seen folks yell or call names at people who do wear them. I've seen people attempt to kidnap a governor and overthrow their own government over public health. So when I see someone ask if they're a jerk because they want their fiancee to get rid of his toddler or they gave away their partner's pet or they shredded photos their partner kept of their youth... it's just sad. It's also sad that people would want others to know what they did.

Have you been reading these AITA posts? What is the most bizarre thing you've seen someone talk about? Share your feelings in the chat.
