    I honestly think that if not for your MSM, most people would be reasonable. The MSM is abusing people’s natural hatred of injustice up to a fever pitch at all the wrong things.

      I don’t know we can really blame MSM. It certainly is contributing to a degree, but for one, online misinformation is arguably a greater problem than, and for another, people were terrible and unreasonable before mass media was ever a thing. It’s not like slave holders thought slavery was great because the 17th century mainstream media told them it was fine that black people weren’t people.

      There’s been systemic cultural problems forever.
