Yes. The inability to debate something has frustrated me. Or even the concept of discussion is foreign to many.
At first I thought it was me. Maybe I am getting too old or too weird. Maybe I am crazy. But I think I am OK. At least mostly.
Folks, especially younger folks, want to stick everybody/everything in a category with predetermined characteristics. And then they stop thinking. There is no context or nuance. Anything that runs contrary to that prescribed narrative is wrong or evil. And the speaker is a fascist. End of story.
How do they plan on solving real world problems? Or working with other people? Or even understanding their own lives?
It is chilling.
