I don't think people in this community approach debate issues with the goal of learning more or coming to a consensus, I think they just do it to blow of steam/be edgy.
When I approach the opposing side with an attitude like "hi, I'd like to know more about X, can you tell me what you think about Y, and why you believe Z?" oftentimes all I get is people on my side of the issue replying with a strawman of the opposing viewpoint
