I'd say the issue is that the conflation from cognitive dissonance and social media is creating a regressive intelligence. The idea that anyone who googles something is now an expert or instant trust in an idea simply because it appeases your sensibilities. The mass cries of racism, transphobia, sexism, islamaphobia, etc all point to backlash from the very real fear they are truly inferior. This mass push for equality of outcome is derided from this fear, the zealous pushback on genetic differences between the sexes, the inherent idea that all cultures must be equal, it is all fear derided from the stark reality that people aren't equal.
