    This is deeply irresponsible. We are already living in a time where constant fighting, outrage, and division dominate public life, and instead of pushing back against that, this kind of content normalizes and encourages it. Treating conflict like a joke or a personality trait doesn’t make you clever or detached—it just adds more fuel to an already out-of-control fire.

    People are exhausted. Communities are fractured. Real conversations are drowned out by knee-jerk hostility and performative arguments, and pretending that getting into fights with strangers online is harmless fun ignores the very real impact this behavior has on how we treat each other. Not everything needs to be a battleground, and not every disagreement needs to turn into a spectacle.

    If we want things to improve even slightly, it starts with rejecting this mindset—not celebrating it. Encouraging chaos, even “ironically,” is still encouraging chaos. We don’t need more provocation; we need more responsibility, restraint, and basic respect.
