In many ways, yes. There is a hatred, a malice, especially by special interest groups who have circled the wagons and demonised everyone around them.

When the NYT was hiring a gender editor, they prefixed the application with comments about how men "used to rule", they talked about how women "ruled the Olympics" [0]. How is this meant to help readers or a potential applicant? How does it make the world a better place? It doesn't, it tears the community apart. It's hate, but a popular hate!

Or search Google (or any news paper) for "domestic violence". Almost the entire media industry refuses to represent any male victims of domestic violence (again, division, isolation, sexism). In Australia, we starved ALL male victims of support. Yes, such segregation is still alive and kicking!

When I went back and looked at newspapers from the early 70s, I felt sick when I realised how much hate we have introduced today. It is a stark contrast. Please check for yourself and I suggest you'll be as shocked as I was at the extremes.

It's all around us though. Hollywood movies, NYT, Sydney Morning Herald, BBC, they have all been pushing extreme and nasty views (them and many other papers).

The world has become a hostile place. There is no voice of reason. Who pointed out Hillary's sexist exit speech [1]? Nobody, not one media outlet. Why? Because her brand of divisiveness (hate) is popular! Little boys suck! Little girls rule! (Look for "boys" and "girls" in her speech to see what I mean that no media outlet will comment on).

So, yes, today's society is the most intolerant I've ever lived in. I can understand why people feel depressed. It's why I'm willing to take the karma hit every time I expose these special interest groups. My karma score ultimately means nothing, but, exposing these intolerants does (at least to me).
