Social experiment 

Replacing an old building or something people loved about a place, something that didn't actually need a replacement, by convincing people it needed to be replaced because it was outdated is a form of a social experiment. A way to get a group of people to tolerate something they wouldn't otherwise tolerate, something they would resist.
People are always trying to make changes via a social experiment. Change is not always what's best for everyone, and a lot of the time, things end up getting worse before they get worse (and not worse before they get better) when somebody took something that was once good and turned it to bullshit.

Coronavirus 

People are no more tolerant of the coronavirus this year than last. A lot of them just let an entity shock them into compliant behavior (though they are not six years old), and the initial shock is no longer there, which is why the entity starts to come up with new reasons why the virus hasn't been eliminated (such as more infectious or deadly mutations) yet every time people start to feel less on edge about it, and more like their old dysfunctional selves (the people that never needed a normal or a new normal).
The coronavirus has been a social experiment to control human behavior more than it has been anything else. Will people tolerate not being liberated from a wildfire that will run out of fuel at some point, or will they let any sense of rights they still have burn in it? People have no rights as long as they're not waking up or standing up.

Indirect aggression 

What some people would call evil aggression.
He/she was a master of indirect aggression tactics.

Indirect aggression 

Doing everything to say fuck you to somebody without saying fuck you, or doing everything to indicate that somebody wants to pick a fight with somebody without actually starting one. Indirect agression isn't entirely passive, so it's not passive aggressive. The person is actively looking for trouble, they are just doing so in an indirect way.
He/she was a master of indirect aggression tactics.

Side eye 

Giving somebody a side eye and actually starting a fight with somebody are two different things.
The guy/girl could give somebody a side eye all day long and still nothing happens, so there isn't much point in saying I'll do this if this person does that if nothing has happened yet. It's just another person trying to get a reaction out of somebody, the same way they do when they call somebody a name other than their first name.

Cowpunchers 

Yea that guy went and jumped the fence and got in there and started slugging the cows, trying to get them to tip over. I think he was one of them cowpunchers.

Cowpuncher 

The sheriff had seen enough, and started to smack the cowpuncher around and ask him how he liked it. What kind of a coward beats the shit out of livestock?
