I think a lot of it is just very easy for social media to influence peoples thoughts with likes or up votes or whatever. We're bombarded by information and lots of people out of work and probably not well mentally. What some people might perceive as the current "public opinion" on a topic can change so damn fast, and the things that are actually effective at changing peoples opinions on things are things that shouldn't, at least if that person wants to have an informed opinion about something. Probably like 1 percent of people actually form opinions on current topics with any sense of diligence.
