But it does help if the generalizations make some sort of sense.
Not everything "makes sense" to everyone, but I think you say a misnomer, you should be writing "it doesn't make sense TO ME". There's a big difference. Not even "I don't agree" but that you say it doesn't make sense, you're leaving out a big factor which is your perception of someone else's "narration". We are all telling ourselves various versions of this "story". So many things are not known or understood.
I would say there's a primary motivator here how EVERYONE is perceiving this, most are through the lens of fear. I was always taught anything that comes by way of fear should be examined what what it is... an untruth. There is nothing true or right that comes from fear. Except maybe the primal urges of fight and flight which modern humans have all but left behind for reason. Now is no different. Reason over fear. Since we do not have enough information for a totally reason-based action, we are all collectively really succumbing to fear-based responses.
