I find my life full of the same observation. It makes sense due to some level of conformism is required for a civilization yet, what I have observed is a media driven game to get everyone to pick a side/group. These groups are all based in the concept of inclusiveness by exclusion. If you are part of my group you must hate these other groups. Jews are chosen/inclusive anyone not Jewish is excluded. Same for the other western and eastern religions. Pop culture is a funny one that changes the objects worshiped as the pop culture memetics slides over generations. Tell me everyone did you really NEED or WANT that iPhone 10? I am using a 5c and it works great. Do you need all the bells and whistle they put on these hand held computers? Luckily I do not need the mental dopamine pump these devises/ apps create.

What I see these days with covid and the cornucopia of choices of sides/groups to choose from is conquered. I don't care what side a person chooses it is only a side and no one side is going to win. If the elite get all the proletariat to fight each other they don't need to lift a stick. I'm watching Seattle to see what happens there, because they will implode or the national guard is going to make a lesson out of them for the rest of us to watch like the wars in the Middle East.
