IMO some topics can't be meaningfully discussed between a group of largely anonymous people, especially when the existence of... hostile interlocutors is always present. There are people I know offline who I'd avoid discussing these topics with, never mind millions of people I've never met, who's body language I can't see, and who's sincerity I can't identify.
As you said, it's tiring, and there are other things to talk about online that don't inevitably lead to the worst possible outcomes.

- unwise-exe 3y agoThis seems more like a topic that can only be discussed anonymously, lest someone take offense and start a pressure campaign against one's employer. > hostile interlocutors A strong noise filter is indeed required.
- Brian_K_White 3y agoA personal noise filter does not address the problem of instigators. The problem is not that you don't like what they say, the problem is what they say to everyone else and what effect that has.
