Used to be two gentlemen could argue, discuss and exchange ideas. You could agree to disagree, but it was like a civilized public forum. Sure, people have always called you a nigger faggot, but that was more like a term of endearment. Down voats were often reserved for spam (by the way, I've been here since fatpeoplehate got banned). But now?
Instead of presenting an argument, people just insult you. Just like liberals. No counter argument, no ideas, no reason why they disagree, just empty insults. Just blind hatred. It's the same kind of answers I expect a feminist to give me if I tell her abortion is wrong. The number of short reddit-tier "safe" comments full of buzzwords has dramatically increased. People just keep repeating themselves in a circle jerk. And often I feel like I'm in a honey pot, full of shills trying to get me angry and to blindly hate anyone that's not white.
Of course there are exceptions, not everyone is like that. But it's not like it used to be.

I was disappointed to see a lot of people agree with this. It's proof of your whole point about no effort arguments.
