Like everyone I have views that others disagree with. But it seems that nowadays, if someone doesn't like what you say, all you hear is "F U, you no nuthin', peace of shit, F U man!!!" instead of an actual, coherent rebuttals. Sad times.

There is no "actual, coherent rebuttal", that's why the response is only an angry retort or insult. It's cognitive dissonance. They can't help it.
I call it "hitting the brainwashing wall" People get aggressive when you attack their perspective of the world and they cant explain their reasoning.
Yeah, Cognitive dissonance resultiing in aggression sometimes violence.
You don't even have to attack them. They know, at least on a subliminal level, that their 'reasoning' is flawed. Simply reading something that brings the flaws to light creates fear (anxiety/anger), which feels like an attack to them, and their reaction is to lash out at the one who set the fear in motion.
