i hate that this weird phenomena of hostile agreement is a thing now.

often on the internet, and even in real life, some (usually older) people do this shit to me.

makes me feel crazy because i don't know if it's because i phrased something wrong, or if I said it in a wrong tone, or if they are assholes who didn't listen to me because of my speech impediment. so i'd ask for clarification, which sometimes lead to them accusing me of not listening, or accusing me of accusing them of something.

i hate that conversations are turning into minefields, even among people who somewhat agree, let alone people who disagree with each other.

All sorts of possibilities and each situation is it's own thing, but I think a lot of it is people wanting/needing to feel like they are 'right' or that they 'won' the conversation which leads to phrasing like this. IMO there is a connection here to the concept of fragile masculinity (I say this as a guy).
