This. Thank you for writing this. It's a crystallization of a whole set of emotions and thoughts I'd never quite had in clarity until reading your comment. It's the epitome of the self-reinforcing echo chamber to declare, "Nobody has posted a counter argument therefore we're right." And when someone does provide a counter argument, the source is almost always immediately disregarded as "inherently biased". At some point you just say to yourself, "This isn't worth my time. I'm not going to have the same useless exchange happen with every single person on the internet who doesn't want to actually do the work of understanding the basis for a position counter to their own."
