The Milk of Human Animus is an amalgamation of discord and rancor that is the visceral ex-change of ideas on social media. There is no filter for our dicontent and we often share the first thing that comes in to our head without consideration for if it should be said, what the conse-quences of our speech are or if the exchange is positive or negative in it’s results. Animus flows freely, and positive dialogue is frequently drowned out. Derision and decrying ideas that are negative and harmful or hateful can actually be a positive, but it adds to the negative flow of energy overall and it seems sometimes this all we have to mark our progress.
