I feel like a dynamic I keep seeing play out is (especially internet subcultures) is;
Person A has a bunch of bad experiences with a group of people.
Person A sees person B acting exactly like those people.
Person A accuses B of the actions of these people/ Person A and person B get into a fight.
Both see this proof the others group sucks.
Like person A could be both the isolated loner who thinks anyone who likes popular things is below them and the asshole who thinks a genuinely bullied kid’s attempt to reach out is narcissism because they talked about how "they’re not like the other kids”. Person B could be someone with the hobbies and speech pattern of that political group you hate and so on.
