I dunno', if you ever knew a gossipy bitch in the-before-times, plenty of people were also judgemental assholes assuming the worst about everyone, from all angles and political slantings.

It was just less obvious, because you couldn't go somewhere and read the thoughts from someone you'll never meet back then unless it was published in a book or newspaper.

If you really get to understand humans, it turns out a lot of them genuinely do not have the capacity to judge others as individuals, and genuinely think they're the good guy even while openly shitting on others. Even before the internet.

Note: I'm not saying this to excuse the behavior, but just to say that you cannot avoid it and it is not an invention of the internet. Learning to deal with it healthily is the correct answer.
