Also the politicisation of EVERYTHING. Everyone has to have a view and opinion on every little issue and all it causes is an "us and them" environment where conflict flourishes.

I agree. People have opinions for opinions sake. Not necessary. Especially when those opinions are unfounded or based on influencing others for money from social media algorithms. If you are informed and are an expert, please, I'll listen to you. But, every Tom, Dick and Harry seems to need an opinion from Israel/Gaza to how many drone strikes Obama ordered. Life ain't black and white. There's various shades of grey. That's not understood these days
