Opinion bubble?
I don’t know anyone who has read any piece of legislation, aside from lawyers and politicians – even most journalists are limited to highlighting pundits’ sound bites (respect to the few exceptions).
Curiously, despite the “mistrust” most proclaim of lawyers and politicians, many folk are comfortable taking “authoritative” positions on this or that bill, which is fine I guess, as in the end it’s still likely a leap of faith.
Nonetheless, given the lack of fundamental analysis of the “underlying asset”, it feels awfully like we’re building a trend of baseless “truths” that will implode one day, disastrously for most, beneficially for the thoughtful (for those who value Truth over Ideology).
In any case, given the derivative nature of the “facts”, lack of civility is all the more unwarranted. But let us cast our evil eye on those responsible for fanning intolerance and demagogy, not the short-sighted masses movilized to purchase the ill-begotten “instruments”.
That’s my boy!
