And here is one of the problems generated by modern social media.
People have been conditioned to exist only in places that conform to
their ways and have absolutely no capability of existing in a space in which a tiny little divergence of opinions exist.
Then we act surprised when those same people don't want to deal with
uncle Jack for having a different opinion or something.
I think you're missing the point of his farewell. It's not differing
opinions, it's the confrontational, disrespectful manner in which some
people express themselves.
I would love a place where I could debate politics with people from all
sides where the debate didn't spiral down to bad fallacies, name
calling, pigeon-holing and we had an actual dialog. Hell, we all might
learn something.
Politics used to have many shades of gray. It's now black and white,
and either side is wrong/beyond redemption.
The main issue I have with this phenomenom is that people who cannot coexist with others due to differences in ideology is bount to attempt
to exterminate their opposition as a matter of survival, since they
cannot exist in places in which different opinions than theirs exist.
