    Have you considered that most people like an accurate reflection of how people think about your opinion? They don’t want you to shut up, they want you to understand your opinion is unpopular and confront you with that.

    There’s a big difference between an opinion that’s unpopular and an opinion that’s actively damaging or inciting. One is worth a discussion, the other is actively stifling discussion in various ways.

      In my experience with the public, in social media, the majority prefers agreement and dislikes contradiction. And any means to that is ok. I think it’s as simple as that.
