Totally agree with Byrd's comments a few replies up.
I found myself participating less and less on ATS simply because of the "tribal" mentality of many of the posters there. Discussions degraded into name-calling, finger pointing, gaslighting and inuendo.
If someone didn't agree with something you say or want to discuss they label you this or that and then their like-minded buddies focus on you in a pile-on. It got so tiresome.
A good number of people now base their thoughts and ideas on soundbite-politics and have seemingly lost the ability to think for themselves. It's really sad
