Nietzsche predicted the social-media haters

“Because there is no time for thinking and no rest in thinking, we no longer weigh divergent views; we’re content to hate them.” 

(Human All-Too-Human, (1878), section 282)

Certainly an apt diagnosis of some sub-cultures on social media.

A different translation is available at this Project Gutenberg edition of HATH.
