>I don't think it's ironic or hypocritical to stereotype terminally online reddit extremists.

"It's OK when I do it."

>There is simply nothing to be gained from engaging with people that are always angry, always uncompromising, and always right

Would you say you're willing to compromise on this statement, or perhaps admit that you might be wrong? Would you say you're angry about this conversation?

>They may as well be bots.

"They're barely even human."

>You're just proving my point.

I disagreed with you on a completely abstract point - not even a real political issue, just a vague comparison of the center vs the extremes - and you're already treating me like a hostile opponent. The way you are talking to me right now is literally the way that you characterize extremists as treating people. Look at what you have written and tell me honestly that you think it sounds civil.
