I’ve found this to be much worse than just what you’re claiming. Like how ‘most people claim to be above average’, I’ve noticed a lot of people claiming that most other people are stupid.
That’s a really weird situation – a significant proportion of people think that almost everyone else can’t handle hard truths (about whatever).
Or maybe it’s pure red tribe blue tribe on a global scale …
I think this is true, but in a weird ‘fractal’ number of dimensions beyond the obvious political coalitions. It’s more like many-dimensional culture war than pure { red tribe / blue tribe } conflict, at least based on my own experience and personal observations.
