Are they constantly imagining that they are talking to UNREASONABLE individuals?

I do not come from the US, but in somewhat lefty or centrist spaces I can't see this style.

One of the most underappreciated things about posting on the internet is that the most factual treatment gets the best response

It's legit. Not many people do it, maybe most want to talk more than be listened to, but I promise, the vote score it gets is better.

That doesn't apply to influencers and outlets, which are personality driven and can gain an aura of authority, just comment-waterfalls like this one.

Maybe "underappreciated" is the wrong word, because it implies a value judgement. Edit: Nah, I'll switch it to active voice.
