Sure, but those comments can be blandly made precisely because nowadays, it's practically impossible to ruin anyone's life.
Lose your job? Bof! Just get another one. Wife? Family? Never liked them much anyway. And so on.

I must admit I do wonder whether people will eventually realise that the risks engendered by being on social media are not matched by its rewards and will start to desert the platforms in droves. Then maybe we could return to a sane society?
Probably wishful thinking, of course. People are fùcking idiots.
But imagine being the sort of person who actually wants to ruin someone's life! Imagine being that bloodlessly vindictive? I can understand - even sympathise with - hating someone so much you wish them dead, but there's something so repulsive about wanting to see someone's life ruined.
Of course. This is a class thing. Nobody, of course, wants to see it as a legitimate expression of contempt for and exasperation with the way in which the media and political classes have cynically weaponised Grenfell as a tool for furthering a broader and unpopular pro-multicultural, pro-immigration agenda. It is that, of course. But nobody wants to acknowledge that.
