    I like that they’re as chaotic and divided as they are.

    People SHOULD be exposed to things they don’t agree with or believe in. Even if it’s legitimately objectively stupid, it keeps people from forming homogeneous opinion groups where they never actually think for themselves, and it allows them to articulate arguments against said stupidity. If you section people off like reddit has, you end up with r/The_Donald type communities that call politicians God Emporer

      Yup, we got where we are now by division, fear mongering, and isolationism. We won’t make any progress by perpetuating isolation, paranoia, and hatred.
