I feel like you are saying that we should all just take a step back and talk with each other instead of shouting at each other. If so, I agree. We are supposed to have different views and opinions. It's OK to believe different things than your neighbour.
I think the problem comes in when your neighbour has views and beliefs that are not based in reality and just can't see the other side. I don't have a problem with "preppers", as I can see that it's entirely possible that society might collapse and it's good to be prepared.
On the other hand, how do you deal with those that believe that the Earth is flat? Even when they discover that the facts don't align with their beliefs, they still can't accept it. If you can't agree on literal "facts" then it's hard to find any common ground on which to stand.
