I have noticed this as general rule in life currently.
The ability to debate facts has disappeared.
If someone disagree with facts the response is usually “I have a right to my opinion”.
Well yes you do, but opinions aren't facts. You have a right to form an opinion based on the facts you read and the right to share that opinion.
You don’t have the right to incite violence. And being arrested for inciting violence is not arrested for “hurty words”
I love having chats to my sensible friends about politics and often find even those of us with opposing views on parties have many common values.
