Why do some people on this website find it hard to accept other people having different preferences and opinions?

Like some people would call others dumb, delusional, strange, shallow, bigot or stupid if another person writes an opinion they don’t like.

Have the people on this website who go around writing to others words like dumb, delusional, strange, shallow, bigot or stupid ever think maybe there is people out there who think the same thing about you?

I mean you might think my opinion is _______

But I or other people might be thinking the same thing about you or your opinion

It's not just GaG, this happens on other sites too. People on the left and right these days are conditioned to automatically hate and attack everything and everyone they disagree with. Instead of having civil discussions on disagreements, trying to understand why someone has a certain view/opinion, everyone defaults to attacks and name calling. During the election, I genuinely asked whats the deal with Democrats accusing everyone of being sexist and racist for not supporting Harris, and was nastily attacked as a racist POS, before I could explain, I was blocked. Was also attacked by Republicans for questioning Trump learning from his mistakes and finally draining the swamp. I miss the days when we were able to agree to disagree without getting all nasty.

I don't know, but it's getting really pathetic. I got attacked and insulted for saying I found certain cities ugly and boring and the person wasn't even from that city

Leftists act like that when someone says something they disagree with. The other day made a answer where I stated I wouldn’t respond to anti-Right bullshit. Asker gave me a anti-Right bullshit answer anyway, so I made a final reply stating something like this will be my last response, I’m looking forward to have Trump as president, and the dude deleted my answer and updated his question to state I lied (I did not) and I wouldn’t argue with him. I specified I wouldn’t argue with anti-Right bullshit. If he hadn’t respondend with anti-Right bullshit I would have been open to conversing with him but nah, he had to do just that.

Cuz some people can't help yucking others yums. Plus there's this...

There are “know it all’s” out there that in their minds. No one else needs to have an opinion. Because theirs is the only opinion that matters. They will argue that fact!

[Iron_Man]

it’s that way on every single website in the world if you’re not a certain part of political views or if you don’t believe in this or that and if you don’t agree they get angry

The anonymity of the internet gives people a lot of faux courage to say things they don't have the courage to say in person.

Look closer. It's always someone from one deformed political party.
