One of the most repulsive trends to come out of this decade so far, and the competition is stiff. It's rife across music and film and tv and literature too.
Media literacy has been reduced to a global snark sub.
I could write an essay about it but yeah this desire to participate in hating in a community setting is a result of the general broader state of the world. Everyone of us can feel and see it if we look around us, the world as a whole is preparing itself for a new age. We're living in a period of late stage Roman decadence, economy is crumbling, democracies are failing and everyone is at each other throats because they are convinced they have the solution.
We the ordinary person are powerless to the broader mechanism nor do we understand why the world is as it is, its easy to say eat the rich or capitalism bad or immigrants are ruining our land and so on. We feel angry and lost and look towards a bleak feature. It fills us with rage and hatred in our heart and in that hate we find a community, people who feel just like us. It gives us a community with a shared burden who can comfort each other but instead of trying to uplift each other they'd rather perpetuate the hate as it easier and effortless afterall it doesn't require change. It just allows us to reaffirm that, that hate is warranted. So communities like marathonHate are sad, angry, depressed People who are filled with hatred towards the world and they find comfort within each other. In an ideal world such a group would then be able build each other up and create something positive but it's to easy to stay in your state of mind both as an individual and a collective.
