  • Again, nuance. There are people from ALL political affiliations, and all walks of life that do this- not just MAGA.

    I’m not going to turn this into a political debate as it’s not a political post. The point is that people seem to be too quick to argue, and not quick enough to use rational and nuanced thought before arriving at their conclusions.

  • The problem goes a lot further than just MAGA. Again, nuance. This isn’t a one-sided issue. Frankly, I’m noticing it a lot more here on lemmy than I am elsewhere if I had to be honest.

    Very few people are willing to discuss/debate topics without polarizing the issue, and then attacking someone for having said things they never said to begin with.

    I see it every day.

  • Fair point.

  • Same. I had no idea what the title meant at all. Interesting though.

  • I mean, even in the show things are pretty bleak. There’s a bit where we see how earth is… not great unless you’re super wealthy.

  • You think the Expanse is optimistic? Did you read it?

  • That’s exactly what happens to me! It’s as if people have no point to make until they rewrite yours.

    If it’s purposeful. It’s a brilliant strategy. Keep people defending against shit they never said and not pressing them to back up their points? There’s no way to lose. And in their minds, that’s what conversation is- something to “win.”

  • Yeah. I’m inclined to see it this way as well. I’m sure there’s a lot of reasons, but this one resonates.

  • Great point! I’m sure this among others is more than likely part of the reason.

  • That’s a fantastic theory. I’d imagine there’s definitely some truth to that.

  • The Expanse.

  • Fair point, if we were only to consider twitter. But there’s far more platforms than just that. And I never really specified it being an online only thing.

    It seems discussion in all forms across all media lacks the nuance we once possessed.

  • That’s fair point. I hadn’t considered that.

  • I feel it’s less common. I could be mistaken, but I don’t recall seeing it nearly as much as I have more recently.

  • So… that you think that I am speaking only from the example of just my own conversions kinda’ illustrates my point.

    A nuanced take would see a point from its many sides and consider the possibility of a conclusion. Not assume a point from one perspective and then jump to a conclusion.

    My point is that PEOPLE argue without considering anything other than what they choose to see before them. Arguments that I have no part in aren’t for me to control.

  • You’re probably right. I just don’t remember people being so combative all the time.

  • My every comment comes from a nuanced take. And I don’t argue on the internet which is the point.

    Why does everything have to be an argument?

  • Caffeine. It’s the only drug I take recreationally.

  • Ask Lemmy @lemmy.world

    What happened to nuance discussion?

  • … they asked, online.
