I think the meme was referring to some new people that have come here, who are using the reddit-like method of voting based on opinion and click-bait. But with that they build themselves a group-think.

The points of "why the woke wont debate.." are great, but I am missing a few points.
I am sorry I don't have time to source them

Some new points:

1) Propaganda. A lot of people are victims of endless propaganda. CNN and MSNBC and more left media are continuously spewing partially imaginary stories, that are meant to make you think a certain way.

2) Bad education. They don't know how to think, but learn to repeat ideas that are stated for them.
This continues even on University and PhD, and makes them worse.

3) The idea that everyone who does not have the same opinion, or idea, is an enemy. Black-white fallacy.
This is trained even in culture. You need to be for one party, and against another.
There is usually no grey area, or an area of agreement. And if there is, there is no other option.
Like: How many countries should US occupy with troops? 20? or 12? or maybe 15?

4) Two sided thinking in the US. More than 2 party solutions are not considered in most discussions in the media and schools. Having a different idea or different party is even regarded as invalid.
I see the 2 party system like a communist 1 party system that switches "side" so once and a while. The same groups of people are in the top every time.

5) Frustration with the system. Many left people see how the system fails them, and can not give them a job that they want. They learn to blame this on the more successful people, just above their level. These are their direct competition. But many do not see that the real problems of the system come from much more powerful and much richer people. And somehow left and right are locked into fighting each other, and this is hiding the real problem.

6) The power of money. Many on the left and the right have no problems accepting or using money for steering political decisions and justice.
This means that the people that have the most money, the Federal reserve and the monopolies, are actually steering the political and even cultural decisions. People 1 can spend 1000 dollars while the top can spend 1000,000,000,000 dollars. And they 1 still think they have some influence.

What about making decisions based on conscience, harmony, honesty, cooperation?

Solutions:

A) Teach each other how to think for yourself.
Here is a proposal: How to investigate the Truth

B) Support each other even when you have different opinions. Don't let the propaganda make us enemies.
It is nice when people can have different ideas and learn more.
Guide each other towards conscience, harmony, honesty, cooperation.

C) Identify the individual people that are performing bad or even criminal actions. Even if you like them, see their mistakes.
Like Elon Mush is bringing back some space travel, but he iwants to put computers in brains.

    Bro, it just says, "Leftist bad". That's all! What the fuck is wrong with you? You are debating the shadows cast on your bedroom walls, by the sock puppet you put over your own hands!
