I used to think it's just a reddit thing but now I don't think anyone actually reads the article and instead just argues their interpretation of the article.
Dude, people dont even read the comment sometimes. Ive had people get super mega angry at me for the first sentence in a comment, and they had proceed to spew information at me... that I had put in the rest of the comment. It is 100% not just a reddit thing.
I think it's a bot and zealot thing.
They don't have enough buffer to fully process what you said so they take the smallest digestible chunk and extrapolate the argument they wanted to have.
Bots are weighted to use language that prompts an emotional response and zealots are genuinely frustrated that their ideals don't match reality.
What Lemmy lacks in bots it more than makes up for with tankies so blatant bad faith arguing is going nowhere.
