Why No One Ever Wins an Internet Argument

...and why they often just make you angrier.

Empathy CAN change you... but sometimes like an abused child into a child abuser yourself (ala Stockholm Syndrome/ Patty Hearst).
"He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you."

-Nietzsche 

Formalized Intersectional or other Oedipal/ Political categorization is also a defense mechanism against empathy and synthesis.  I don't want to Identify WITH you or your thesis.  You are 'other' and I don't WANT to change my anti-thesis.  I need my Ego's anger to fend you off and prevent any self-reflection induced changes to my Super-Ego through synthesis of arguments or positions, thereby avoiding acceptance and experience of the immediate Ego shame that might reduce my anxiety but also increase my own sense of self-guilt through transmutation of your external ethics into my internalized Ego/ Super-Ego based morality.

...and cuz Orange Man BAD!

Most noticeable, when you are banned. ;-)

That usually means that they have nothing to counter. ;-p
