Every good thread I've joined lately has devolved into low-tier open internet "communism v capitalism" slapfight debates.
The "debates" are basically just namecalling with a "my mind won't be changed" superiority, while smugly debating the two option dichotomy: Stalin and Marx's communism vs Nazi fashwave capitalism (???)
This conversation actually comes in several flavours - religion, celebrities, politics, gender, sexuality, anime... but is almost always punctuated with "debate me".
Beware of this mindrot, because it comes from the wider internet and basically supplants actual conversation about mundane but personally important things in favour of empty circlejerking.
Note that it's almost always off topic, but in subtle and um ackshally ways.
