    I think people who ask generalized questions like, “Why does group X have irrational opinion Y about subject Z?” should instead engage with individuals about why they feel a certain way on a specific subject. I think they would find that people make up a full spectrum, opinions are more diverse than the right one and the ridiculous one, and people don’t personify two extreme opposing memes.
