But as for why resort to insults in general, frustration maybe? To be honest, a lot of views held by some people can be really infuriating (not giving a care for others, the environment, etc.) so using insults against them can be sort of therapeutic.
I get what you're saying, but when someone uses that kind of insult over and over and over it just becomes counterproductive, and I can't imagine being angry makes them a happier person. Is consistent loathing towards a group of people something that really helps? Like, freaking out at someone who is pissing you off is kind of satisfying, but when it's your entire view on the issue, I can only see that making you miserable. For you're specifically seeing the bad and not the good in anyone different from you. If it provides any mental benefit it is short lived, negative, and at the expense the person who you are targeting.
