Unfortunately the tech world somehow became hostile to rationality and everything is filled with emotion. I remember having political discussions in the past and I can still have conversations with dissenting people over a certain age; younger people seems to have lost the capacity to discuss. I think it's a generational issue, it's just that people who have been failed by the education system and by society (in the shape of psychologists' 10 parenting tips, divorces, working parents with 3 jobs, unstable families, being left out of the housing ladder), are reaching the age when they talk politics.

> younger people seems to have lost the capacity to discuss I agree with your point about people being failed by society and the education system, but do not agree that this has become an issue with younger people specifically. Anecdotally, I have spoken with younger people and older people who lose control of their emotions when something they hold close and identity with is challenged. Even if the topics are brought up in a civil manner, I've seen people completely lose their cool.
