I don’t like to see so many political posts in all and so many weird images in comment sections

Or, maybe, people just hold different beliefs to you.

"People" can engage in civil discourse to discuss those beliefs. That's not what I'm seeing, what I'm seeing is immediate strawmanning, insults, and overall cartoonish disrespect. That's not someone with a different belief, that's someone presenting the most obnoxious possible parody of someone with that belief.

What's funny is those beliefs aren't even that different, I'm pretty far left. This is just hivemind soundbite nonsense.
