Although many people in this circle often say extreme things, the speakers are not the same.
Some people really think that way, some just want to please the former for personal gain, and some are just stirring the pot.
Rational voices are becoming less and less because if you're not extreme enough, you get labeled or even silenced. Why cause trouble for yourself?
The hostility is growing, and the rhetoric is becoming more extreme.
I suggest that friends become a bit more rational. When encountering problems, observe more, think more, and reflect more...
If not, go out for a stroll.
