    There is some scientific backing to this. Basically by isolating ourselves in these little bubbles of death, we stop seeing the other people as people and this removes any moral/societal blockers to descending into a pit of rage and calling for the termination of their bloodline, death by inept firing squad, etc.

      I wouldn’t even say we stopping seeing them as people, but instead that we view them as generally terrible people based on how they drive. They’re either an idiot or an asshole, as the saying goes. (‘Anyone that drives faster than me is an asshole and anyone that drives slower than me is a moron’ is the saying)
