FISHED IN! That includes "religious" and "anti-religion" leaders too who instigate hate and enemy-creation

Lol both "Conservatives" and so-called "Liberals" get extremely butthurt at the least little disagreement or even just a different point of view these days. If they would really keep it to just words instead of doing real things to "retaliate" it wouldn't be so bad.

I wish I could stop using "quotation marks" :)

LOL

It's only normal if you think it's normal. That's what normalizing refers to. There are plenty of humans who do not attack others and are aware of their emotional reactions and behavior. Defensiveness is a reaction, we all have it, but we are also capable of observing ourselves, managing our emotions and controlling our actions. Unless we have a disorder and have lost that ability.
