Do you avoid discussing some topics online even if you have something you'd like to say about them?

Do you avoid discussing some topics online even if you have something you'd like to say about them? - Sopuli

I’ve been doing this for some time now. Even if it’s something that I consider important. I just don’t see the value in participating in a discussion that I have seen countless times already where the same points and arguments happen over and over again. One that I know wilI turn ugly. It’s exhausting and I’ve decided to just opt-out.

If the question is open, e.g. “do you like apples?” and the question is in my area of interest, I usually give an answer. But if the question assumes an answer or is deliberately polarizing, e.g. “why don’t you like apples?” I pass.

You know who else liked apples? Hitler. Coincidence? No.

Coincidence? No.

Of course it’s not a coincidence. Everyone likes apples. If you disagree it obviously means you’re lying because everyone likes apples.
