Perhaps I am jaded but most if not all people regurgitate about topics without thought or reason along very predictable paths, myself very much included. You can mention a single word covered with a muleta (Spanish bullfighting flag) and the average person will happily run at it and give you a predictable response.
It's like a Pavlovian response in me to respond to anything SQL or C# adjacent.
I see the exact same in others. There are some HN usernames that I have memorized because they show up deterministically in these threads. Some are so determined it seems like a dedicated PR team, but I know better...
The paths are going to be predictable by necessity. It's not possible for everyone to have a uniquely derived interpretation about most common issues, whether that's standard lightning rod politics but also extending somewhat into tech socio/political issues.
