Is this age defined by 'splitting' with respect to all or nothing thinking? It seems few are able to find the middle ground in thoughts and reactions?

I think this is a fabricated issue, and I have no idea where it comes from. Everything is extreme, and identity politics is driving an incredible divide between us.
How this get's rectified? I know not.

Defined by SHEEPEOPLE maybe with people unable to think for themselves but preffering to be told by which left or right they've hitched their wagon too

[peachblossomluck]

I think people who are more anxious about life tend to have a black and white view of things. I'm opinionated about some things but there are so many grey areas in other instances.

[gobsmacked3]

yes, but you are very wise. many deal with absolutes to their detriment

There is not a lot of people that can define the middle ground. It's easier to do a yes or no kind of situation. And we all know human beings always go for whats easier.

[gobsmacked3]

yes, and they cut down any divergent views

[LLils]

They avoid complicated at all costs. I find complicated rather enlightening. But that's me personally. We are all different after all. We should just accept instead of forcing others ideals onto one another.

[gobsmacked3]

The shades of grey pointing to 'complicated' is the most intriguing aspect of life

I don’t think this way at all but I do see it a lot in the united states when it comes to liberals and republicans. Also with feminism.

[gobsmacked3]

maybe i am being ageist but so many deal in absolutes when there are so many shades of grey in life

[Opinion Owner]

Yes I agree

[zagor]

It's becoming a binary world...
