Learned from the late Stuart Wilde that cynics used to be nicknamed the “dogmen” because they urinated openly in the public streets in front of people to show disdain, as a dog would do.

“The term “Cynic” comes directly from the ancient Greek word kynikos, which literally translates to “dog-like” or “of a dog” (derived from kyon, meaning “dog”).”
—Princeton University Press site.

No.

People have been being jerks and destroying things because they are jerks since there were people.

Get any group of four year olds together and you see the exact same behavior.
