Now, the most boring topic in your opinion.
Same options.

Abortion.  I think any sensible person can admit that (the sensible people on) both sides have sound arguments that you can empathize with even if you disagree.  It's an emotional topic that tends to get nasty (the ways that extremists on both sides describe their opposition's views is just crazy), and you rarely get anywhere.

I find people tend to lack any nuance whatsoever in discussing foreign policy. Everyone is just pidgeonholed into "Neocon" or "Isolationist" even though we live in a very complicated world that isn't black and white.

If veganism is an option, then by god that's it! I also just cannot get a strong stance on affirmative action either.

I agree. It's talked about way too much and people on both sides get way too hysterical about it. It's not the most important issue.

Veganism is the worst as it manages to thread the needle between annoying and boring.

I'm going to ignore veganism, not sure why it's included.

The answer is economics.

Veganism. Say what you want about the other topics, at least they have human lives or welfare at stake.

Economics is just dull for most non-nerdy people.

Hawks vs. doves isn't boring per se, but it's an incredibly stupid distinction.

Cultural appropriation because it is an invented "issue" that was created in college classrooms and tumblr.  Abortion is boring in the sense that neither side will ever change each others minds and have legitimate reasons for their beliefs.

The thing SJWs and alt-righters alike love to talk about most: cultural appropriation.  Both sides are their own brand of annoying.
