I have noticed (on many social media platforms) that people are willing to go to war (of the words) rather than just step back and apologize for any offensive thing posted (unless coerced)

Is it hard to refrain from writing things you will have to eventually apologize for?

Is it risky just to say sorry?

Thoughts? Observations?

(disclaimer this is in no way in reference to anyone or thing in particular, just a behavior i noticed is trending and im wondering why)

I never considered that people on this site could possible Russian trolls lol

Highly unlikely anyone on this site's a Russian troll. Quite likely that someone on this site holds an opinion that was amplified by either Russia or Cambridge Analytica, though. Could be tame, could be vile, that's the tricky thing - it's kind of like "Inception", you internalize the thought as your own without recognizing it as originating elsewhere.

Here! Here! "This President" has created a hate atmosphere in the U.S. It may have always been there but he basically legalized it. People that keep saying we needed a change need to explain to me just what kind of change we needed. We have lost all decorum and decorum meant civility not the chaos we are experiencing. I am old school and have seen what life is with laws and regulations and what it is without. When people don't have the knowledge to make decisions, they most often make the wrong ones. It is the band wagon effect. It appears to me that often people don't even believe or understand what they are fighting for, it is just an excuse to spit in the face of anyone and everyone. Bringing your children to a protest to make a statement and calling it a history lesson, well I hope that they know whose responsibility it was if they are harmed or killed. To me, it is nothing but teaching a child "hate".

The change I see us needing now is logic and common sense. A child could do what "this President" is doing for the country and probably do a better job. How cliche' of me! Everyone knows that his party just wants to stay in power and will stop at nothing to have it even if it means supporting insanity.

I wince at the anger I hear in my words and I wish it weren't there, but it is. Just needed to vent I guess.

When I feel I have something to apologize for, I apologize without any prompt or "oversight management."
