How did we get to a place where we think contentiousness is de facto a problem and is “political” (used as a slur)?

These are problems people care about. No one is actually stating the exaggerated positions you’ve characterized.

I wish I was wrong. Ctrl f your way through the comments.

There is a comment on hood heights.

There is a comment about cyclists using streets even though there are recreational paths.

There are several comments about distracted walking.

I use the term political as derogatory in a contentious discussion because 1) people come into them unwilling to change their mind 2) their beliefs are largely inherited and they will not acknowledge or state the assumptions and underlying opinions that underly their positions
