I firmly believe that it's an addiction.  Memes like this, or just outlandish propaganda in general, gives them the high that they are now conditioned to crave.  Addictions bypass rational thinking, so there is really no use arguing.  I wish I had an idea what is of any use.  :(

Actual conversation with living human beings tends to help. Unless your only goal is to score points. Then, you might as well post memes.

I don't think it does help.  The conversations stops early on in order to ensure that all living human beings remain in that state.

I agree it does happen often. Usually because people want to assert, or seek validation, more than they want to discuss. Establishing the conditions of a genuine conversation is hard, and that is usually not the type of thing you can do (or want to do) at the Thanksgiving dinner, or during the cab ride. One of the difficulties right now is that political assertion is so intimately intertwined with identity, that any form of contradiction is seen as a challenge to one's very core. (Another is that internet "debating" culture, which has now spilled IRL, is aimed at scoring cheap points).

Quote"I have zero opinion on the entertainment quality of the half time show last night because I was busy slinging beers to customers and didn't see much of it. With that said, the next person that complains about objectifying/sexually exploiting women? Remember this still shot. Women do this to themselves.

These two women could be role models for young ladies but, they chose to send a different message."

Man is there any issue obscure enough that your family doesn't have a hot take for?

Notice how Beyonce is "not much better". I guess that translates to her having a slightly brighter skin colour? :P

Nothing.
But this JayZee character is bad news for some reason.  Trademark poacher if I had to guess.

Well, 25 years ago.
