Agreed

Whenever we read about people antagonizing masks or vaccines and their usual political alignments let's remember this, because it's fundamentally the same thing

It's a "feel good" position, it's a "I'm in your tribe" position even if it makes no actual sense in reality (and both sides are not lacking in crap arguments to support those)

> both sides

There’s not only 2 sides.

I stopped reading any news or social media (outside HN or stocks) since New Years. I don’t feel on a side anymore.

Agreed, reality is more nuanced than what exists in media/social media.

And you'll notice the extremes complain louder at those in the middle than at the "opposite side"
