I resonate with your views. I’ve not been around that long but I often visit old threads to get a perspective.
For those looking for an example to drive this home, look no further than the most hot button thread on HN when President Trump was elected. Inspect the quality of discussion. We were so much better: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12907201
Note: As sad as it sounds, I need to clarify; I have no political position or axe to grind. Just showing how we used to have discourse about difficult topics and I chose an extreme example to convince you.
