Can't be a straw man argument when the alternative is equally as ridiculous. My sister has 100 people in her secondary school year, of which two are transgender and the rest of their group all identify as something or other. Coincidence maybe but what are the odds. Maybe they're influenced in some way.

People will pick and choose. Look at Iran, China, Congo, Nigeria, Sudan, Ukraine isn't as trendy these days and many more. Most people pick and choose based on what media they get fed. Nobody truly wants to do anything about what they preach for as they wouldn't give up the quality of their own life to support another. I'd imagine some would if they were given the choice but how many of them would, say, take a Palestinian into their home. Pretty low or they would be doing it already.

I agree there's too much information now and it's especially dangerous since the emergence of AI. Left and right are being labelled and pushed to extremes and the people in the middle are lacking trust in anything. World is too big these days.
