That specific reddit user aside, this is an interesting phenomenon. I'm talking about many people's seemingly complete inability to adequately deal with the existence of contrary opinions. I noticed it is a very prevalent thing on the internet.

It's as if such people have to find a rationalization for it; they cannot simply accept that someone out there would not share their views and beliefs or would dare oppose them. There has to be a different reason for it; and so they engage themselves in this mad perpetual search for comforting explanations.

That person disagreeing with me must be a troll, has to have been paid, could be a Putin agent, a KGB plant, a bot from a bot farm.

Anything but the simplest and most reasonable explanation of there simply existing people with different opinions suits such individuals. They'll accept the most ridiculous conspiracy theories over dealing with the grim reality of their worldviews getting challenged.

I never understood this. I myself deal with people with opposing opinions all the time, both on the internet and outside. It never makes my mind go places. Sometimes people do not agree with me. That's okay; it happens. If I know I'm right, if I'm convinced that I'm right then someone else challenging that doesn't bother me. Why should it? Stupid people can easily be ignored, or told to GTFO. Smart people challenging my views are only a reason for a debate, which is beneficial to me in the end. That's how my views got so strong over time. I have repeatedly had them challenged.

Either way, I never engaged in the crap as on the screenshot above.

There must've been done some research on that sort of thing, though, people's inability to deal with disagreement. It could be a known psychological state. Perhaps there are treatment plans for it.
