That's true, but if you're letting it get to angry heated bitter arguments, that's at least partly your fault. With an open mind and a friendly attitude you can mostly avoid those.

When the usual response to lets say... climate change, is nothing more than shouting how u r a commie (which yes, i am one), spreading goverment lies, and how the vaccines r gonna give their child autism....

I just don't waste my energy in something so futile, its their religion. And a confrontation about BELIEFS (at least for them) is gonna end up no where.

So yeah, its just understanding how sometimes its better to only see them with disgust and walk away.

wow that's bleak. Very few people around me share my political beliefs, but they certainly don't disgust me. One of my colleagues beliefs every conspiracy in the book, she's at the total other end of the spectrum when it comes to most arguments, but I've also noticed that she is the sweetest nurse I know, treating patients with empathy and compassion. Rather than coming to the point where you avoid arguments, I think people should develop the ability to have differences of opinion without being revolted by the other. An opinion doesn't define who or what someone is in the slightest.

Maybe u r right, im gonna try to be friends next time i see a white supremacist, its not like that kind of ideologies can and already have taken lives.

Edit to add pizzagate since theres dead pleople thx to that stupidity, and antivaxxers in general since not only they kill themselfs, but also anyone around them, especially their kids, etc, etc, etc. Even those Th3 EaRtH 1S fiAt DuD3 have been killing themselfs.
