What makes us feel we need to share our opinions with communities and the world?

People put signs in their yards stating who they will vote for, people go online to debate/argue about the same.
Politics, religion and just about anything under the sun... people will argue about it all and even resort to be rude, insulting, etc.... and yet, it never makes a real difference in anyone's life.

Why do we feel anyone really cares about our opinions? (unless they are like minded)

we live in a time of shallow tribalism. anyo9ne that is not US is the enemy, an worthy of contempt or worse

it has not always been this way, i have watched as hostility has replaced every other way of interaction, I am sure you noticed as well.

we no longer discuss, just identify a person as "our side" or "the enemy"

there it is, we do not discuss we argue. because no one will speak to those we disagree with.

we CAN change each other's mind, but only when we ar civil and see each other as people, not team members
