It’s frustrating how absolute loyalty is such a cultural norm now
Not sure if it was ever any different. Listen to some interviews from the 50s or read some newspapers from the late 1800s. Propaganda has never been any different than today. Tribalism was the same. It’s been pretty much always the case that the majority of the population thought in absolutes.
The problem is you need to have a certain amount of intelligence, education, open-mindedness and humility to accept that things aren’t black and white and that no side has all the answers and all the truth. It’s much easier to just take one side completely and believe that the other side are pure daemons.
