Some of these in response to the mistreatment of others or of minority groups and some in response to others lack of a response.

Here on DU some jury alerts demonstrate a level of derision toward another that include an accusation questioning the roots, motives and allegiance of well known and long established members. Disparagement is acceptable for those who espouse non-comforting ideas.

OTOH there are examples of extraordinary sympathy and many folks real efforts to help those around them.
