It never seems like it's just disagreeing about something, having a respectful and rational discussion, and then politely agreeing to disagree. It's always like... "I think Tiki is cultural appropriation." "I disagree, because X, Y, and Z." "YOUR A RACIST WHITE TRASH!!1!" It could be a discussion about morals, culture, politics, religion, science, whatever... And it doesn't matter which side the person is on... It just goes from 0 to 60 in a snap.
