The compulsion to interpret people's comments in bad faith then retort with condescending snark is a problem too.

But hey, at least it isn't memes, right?

I don't think I misinterpreted the condescension you dished out by blanket labeling a trend of mostly valid critique as psychological compulsion and performative misanthropy.

You certainly did, because I wasn't referring to valid critique.

Mainly I wanted to suggest that the folks you're diagnosing might have valid reason to complain. I could have done it more tactfully, but that's what came out.

Your post reads to me as a complaint that people who complain too much have a problem.
