More than ever, I have the feeling that a huge gap has arisen between the reality as it is presented to us daily and what you hear when you talk directly to people. That the media - and by extension its celebrities - try to convince us that "the majority of the population" agrees with a certain narrative. That the population collectively believes in climate madness. That toy drones pose a real threat to Europe. That everyone is for more weapons, more escalation, and an expansion of the war. And so on. But… when you talk to people themselves… on the street, in a café, at work, among friends. Just, outside the media and social media bubble, I find something completely different. Of the people I speak to, the vast majority does not agree with that madness at all. On the contrary. And then I begin to wonder: Is this really "public opinion"? Or are we mainly hearing what public opinion is supposed to be? Or do people no longer dare to speak out of fear, thinking that their opinion is that of a small minority? #PubliekeOpinie #Media #Klimaatdebat (translated)
