That's not just Reddit, that's the way people view/discuss politics online these days, and to a lesser extent, offline too. It's bad, man. It's not just politics either, it is pretty much any social commentary, viewpoint, or ideology. You either support literally every single stance a given group takes or you're an enemy. This mindset is driving division, creating anger, and separating people in a way that will be extremely difficult to come back from. We're in big trouble as a society.

Yeah, but on the flip side.

We've entered some very dark times where the grey has disappeared from a lot of things and become stark black and white.

and enlightened centrism does nothing but spread the darkness.
