It's strange when people call others things like "narrow-minded" or "intolerant"

But they're not able to think at all about the other person perspective, just enjoy thinking that everyone is ignorant but them.
Or it's the same thing if you don't agree with them.
It's rare to find a person mature enough to be able to understand other perspectives without needing to insult, respect the other person even if they don't agree with it.

You can’t have an actual discussion with someone who immediately considers you the enemy because of your views. The problem is that there’s no real “marketplace of ideas”. It’s just everyone trying to one up the other because everyone is trying to “destroy our way of life”. We’re at the point where people who think and live differently than you are barely human.

Just look at SW: so many people just block rather than engage with an idea they don’t agree with (no matter how civilly and rationally it is communicated). A lot of it is fear: we’re afraid that our worldview might be the wrong one.
