People jump to conclusions quickly if it fits their narrative, and it’s poisoning the United States.
I’m specifically referencing the big controversial cases recently( Cornell 7 and Lindsey Clancy) but it’s really applicable to anything. The logical answer to both these cases is that they are messed up, but many mixed signals so it’s hard to conclude what totally happened without more evidence. But people seem to jump to a certain conclusion (that the men involved were the problem) because it fits their narrative. No one is arguing these cases are messed up, but there isn’t enough evidence to fully conclude the men were at fault (although no matter if the men were at fault for Cornell 7 it’s still messed up). We see this in politics so much. People don’t dig deep into a topic, they just spit what they believe with nothing to back it, and refuse to hear out the other side’s point of view. If you have that other point of view you’re a racist , sexist, the list goes on. This combo of ignorance and ego is what stops things from getting done in this country, whether that’s politics related or not. If we want to get things done, we need to compromise, but many people refuse to do that. Of course I love the idea that people refuse to do that in the sense everyone has free will on their opinions, but nonetheless it seriously delays how much we get done.
