Over the years, I've come to believe people (doesn't matter if they are German, Brit or American)....want to believe in something, even if it's marginally true, or possibly totally a fraud.
This goes across the whole spectrum, from politics to sports.....from economics to crime.
Before the news became a 24-hour thing? You probably had five or six things that you deeply cared about and had an opinion on. Today? I'd suggest that if you reviewed your feelings......you might say there's well over 300 things that you think about and have some opinion on.
On the positive side? Well....they aren't saying they support corruption, or war, or misinformation.
The trend leading us to what landscape? You end up with people coming up to you and wanting to seriously engage on stupid crap....with poorly designed opinions, and expecting you to collapse to their level of thinking. Your best tactic.....stall them and counter that your car muffler has been showing issues, or that that bad rash on your leg as returned.
