Alright, two theories, kind of general, broad strokes, maybe they do, maybe they don't.

But either, A, you're so cynical that you need to tear people down and make them nasty in that sort of 'idealism is for chumps' way. Or, B, you want to know people are as nasty as you are deep down, so you poke and prod and try to find them to feel better about yourself.

...Also, stop lookin' at me like that, you hate me from the past as much as I do, probably more.
