I often read a subreddit AmItheAsshole. People write in describing some incident where they think they were right, but someone tells them they behaved badly, and they’re asking for judgment.

Folk aint buying it.
Did you expect pro republican comments?
That’s not really what they’re saying. Instead, they’re saying that it’s obvious which commenters only read the headline.

Or people are just lazy and self-righteous.
