I disagree. People generally have to work themselves up to a place of such strong opinions. This usually happens when people cocoon themselves in echo chambers.<p>If you spend 4 hours a day on zerohedge or infowars, you will reach a point where differing opinions piss you off to the point of yelling. If, however, you were getting different perspectives from other human beings on a regular basis, you would likely be less fervent in your views.<p>It&#x27;s a lot harder to dismiss actual human beings as &quot;libtards&quot; or &quot;rethugs&quot; or whatever pejorative. You might still disagree, but you usually won&#x27;t outright dismiss them like you would an article with a &quot;heretical&quot; viewpoint relative to your personal echo chamber.
