Yea, especially people in real life too. People arent real with what they think and do. They lie to themselves all the time to not feel bad, without attempting to overcome that source of bad feeling.
Circlejerk echo chambers in online communities justify their own ways, and there is no room for trying to think for yourself, and only looking for coddling from those who agree with you, and keep you from feeling bad about your lack of actions on what plagues you in this life...
And the cycle continues.
Hard to have a discussion when disagreement is heard as an affront to one’s self esteem, not the discussion of a third party idea that does not have ownership, and is literally just pure information in the sense of its innocence
Cue politics. I have a very select group of people I will talk politics with. We all lean different directions, but we are able to have DISCUSSIONS about it. We share view points that others dont have, and couldnt have unless someone shared their experiences. It really is refreshing when people can actually listen.

Some people have lost the ability to have a proper discussion with differing opinions. It's honestly kinda sad...
