so, really, politics is dead. If only people with extreme views are willing to debate issues at all, then we're totally, entirely screwed.
Civil society is dead.
@Migukin This sounds like an oxymoron, is there room for debate when one's holding extreme views on a topic?
I don't think people do not want to debate issues. They don't want to rehash debates they have had a few times already at infinitum, and recent political discussions tend to feel that way. That is a different thing.

@Migukin sounds depressing though
