Somewhere right now, a person is carving their initials into a three-hundred-year-old tree and feeling romantic about it. Another one is posing for a grinning selfie at a WWII memorial because the lighting was good. One more is taking up two parking spaces, feeding wildlife with a sandwich, touching the museum exhibit with both hands, and leaving a one-star review for a restaurant because it rained.
These people exist among us. They are, in the most technical sense of the word, people, but the internet can think of a few different names that are too strong to publish. These individuals were caught in the act of being comprehensively, unapologetically, sometimes historically terrible. The comments section found them. We found the comments section. And now here we all are together, united by hate.
