Conversation on almost any subject can turn into a political screening test. I supposed that’s always been true to some extent, but the difference today is that when someone detects wrong thinking, instead of just taking in the idea that you might not agree with them 100% on everything, they stick a tail on you and put a pitchfork in your hand and you irrevocably become Satan.
There are a few disagreements where I’ll immediately pop on the horns. Not recognizing the right of trans or gay people to exist for instance. Denying someone’s basic right to exist is nazi shit.
Yeah my issue is that people tend to decide they know enough to define reality, even in areas where most of their expertise comes from memes. A lot of “opinions” come down to just wanting stuff to be true.

I don’t mind disagreements of opinions, but when we start having disagreements about reality that’s when I disengage.
