most people in the world are decent, reasonable, and understanding. the fringe extremists who are unreasonable, no decency, and lack of understanding---these people are used by the media and social media platforms to get money. Eyeballs=money. Unfortunately, this is not exactly making society a better place. Have skepticism and question what you read. Do not blindly believe everything you see. There is usually a hidden profit motive underpinning these social media platforms, media outlets, and television stations. Get comfortable challenging what people tell you to be true. Ask people to prove that what they tell you is real. Be skeptical and wary of charlatans who deceive the masses with veiled truths and pseudoscience.
