Because nothing is funny when it's all you ever see.
I think normalfags seem to never get tired of that shit online, and they seem to find it endlessly humorous, because they eventually leave the internet and get a break from it in their real life (which of course we don't see).
To those of us who just use the internet all day long, all the stuff that they find clever and interesting becomes so mind numbingly dull, tedious, and predictable.

The thing that sucks about the situation is there's no way to make the normalfags understand that. They can't wrap their head around all the drama being "boring" to anyone. I mean, it's not really their fault I suppose (if I'm totally honest here), I don't see how it's possible for them to understand that.
So when you tell them to just stop posting something you've seen (or a pattern of arguing you've seen) for 9001th time they of course can only assume you're "offended" or something.

In fact, I think I might screencap this. It's making so much fucking sense to me right now this might be my new go-to explanation for why the internet sucks now (especially the 2nd paragraph).
Hopefully I'll still agree with it tomorrow.

Yeah, I've noticed that the same arguments more or less keep repeating over and over. Their difference (if there is any) is semantics really. I don't know how they don't get tired of it all, do they not see those arguments a lot or are they unable to grasp that they're in essence disagreements about the same things (which stem from deeper philosophical disagreements, but of course this is never apparent to them because if it was they would realize they have no common ground and thus the argument in its current state is pointless without establishing a minimal amount of common ground).

Additionally, these repeating arguments often revolve around taste; there is a Latin saying for this: "In matters of taste, there can be no disputes". This has been known since ancient Roman times yet here we are repeating the mistakes of our ancestors.

Well some of the stuff you're talking about boils down to intelligence. I don't think you can really have a very high standard for that online.
But the question about why they don't at least get tired of it, is very valid.

I'm not disagreeing, but can you give an example? It sounds like you might have encountered a very specific scenario instead of just the usual modern day internet argument.

No specific scenario - just my observations over the years. Hating someone for enjoying something that hurts no one, hating someone for their writing style, hating someone for their opinion on an unimportant matter in the grand scheme of things, hating someone for their humor, hating someone for their nationality, hating someone for being rich or poor, hating someone for their art or writing and so on. These things don't matter at all yet so much attention is given to them. Worse than that, people want to hurt others over them.

It's not an internet-only thing mind, I've observed these things throughout school when I was a child.

Hatred is fine when it's turned toward something productive. It's not easy to devote attention to the things that supposedly do matter. I think it's better than being dead inside. People simply live and breathe different values, and that's something normalfags will never ever get. The problem is when you insert in personal philosophy instead of taste and it quickly gets political.

I've always found getting upset or hating people for trivial reasons to be rather silly, and I think, as far as online is concerned, the overarching metajoke has always been to mock the absurdity of such trivial vitriol (your waifu/anime/vidya is a SHIT etc). At least, that's always been my sense of things. I've always been a really easygoing person, and spent time with other easygoing people, and we always pretended to get upset and outraged at silly things as a sort of mockery of uptight people. I have noticed a lot of tension in the air online and even in real life, of late, and I have to say, I don't understand it. I think you should strive to find easygoing people to associate with, and try to establish tone. There are still people out there that are taking it easy.
