RE: You can't stop fascism by becoming fascist and you can't beat hate with a ban hammer
One large reason: Black and White thinking. There is no grey area anymore with A LOT of people. If it feels bad, then it is bad to the max and must be dealt full consequence. Or if it feels good, it must be amazing and needs to be idolized. You see it everywhere that the many shades of grey in between no longer exist. BPD is a good example of extreme black and white thinking. (Not saying every person who thinks BaW has BPD)
I agree with that statement. Main Stream Media is a big culprit of that...they sensationalize stories and create a huge divide. They make the masses pick a side. People are told what to believe instead of deciding for themselves. Facebook is also pretty notorious for that as well. And then people ban other people who don't see things the way they do, and it limits critical thinking. Kinda sad if you think about it...
Most people don't have enough information to decide anyway. Disinformation doesn't really count.
