      I think this is a crucial observation to understanding this whole mess.

      Not everyone lives in a “heliocentric world”, where they’re just a small part of a bigger system, everyone is just multiple shades of different, and average/normal is statistical fiction.

      To a lot of folks, their vantage point is: “people like me are normal and it’s everyone else that is on the deep left or right.”
