Iโve seen a ton of response across lemmy like this. People are just primed to get hostile/argumentative for no reason and, as in this case, because they completely failed to comprehend the original post.
Maybe because the original post seems awfully arrogant, if you don't know the context - and the post didn't provide any context.
I've seen a ton of responses like yours. You're implying that everyone gets the context, if they don't, you assume everything is "hostile" if it's not the exact line of thought you happen to support.
Accept that other people live different lives from yours and have different experiences and knowledge.
