If you could pick up a copy of WELT today....there's a great piece written by Norbert Bolz....entitled: "The Enslavement of One's Own Opinion". It's worth a read.
The emphasis of the piece? People spend a lot of time talking....trying share their own individuality and thinking....with diverse ideas in the middle of this.
The mass media? It spends a fair amount of time also talking....but trying to get you to one single opinion....one logic....one end-conclusion.
In the end....you have a fake like-mindedness, which you seem to be unconvinced of it making sense.
Tribal creation? After a while....you start to ponder upon it and come to some conclusion that the end-result....whether planned or just accidental....is that a tribe of some sort will exist, and they are led to some particular way of viewing a problem or situation. As open-minded as each might pretend to be....they can only have one opinion at the end.
Kinda funny....if you think about it.
