So, people who disagree with you, can never calmly explain their position? You also expect this state of affairs to never change.

That must be frustrating.

Not never, but it often seems very difficult for certain people. I get emotionally charged reactions, both online and IRL.

What do you mean? I think these things can change. The brainwashing is usually kept in by evoking a traumatic response. If the trauma is healed, the brainwashing doesn't stick around.
