This is root of all hyper-partisanship in my opinion. You feel your opinions are the sensible majority, even though it stands to reason we all have quite a few minority opinions. Any media, especially from well funded, well educated, more-or-less well respected sources, that goes against your sensible majority opinion is clearly part of a vast conspiracy from a cabal of one or more of: [financiers, corporate elite, Hollywood, environmentalists, socialists, conservative, liberals, globalists, lizards, whatever]. The unthinkable alternative is that you just happen to be on the fringe of society for one or more issues you find important.
Does not wanting to not die in a nuclear hellstorm put me on the fringe? Because it seems obvious to me that the most powerful people and institutions in the West are all gearing up for a direct war with Russia. Frankly I’m totally indifferent as to whether or not Ukraine ends up being annexed by Russia. I don’t want to die for some country that’s thousands of miles away from where I live.
