I mean I do know it's always been there, but this is entering public acceptance on a very high level, and is indicative of a much larger support base of individuals. What changed in our culture to make such intensely bad thinking happen in such a large wave?

Is it excess? We're a very rich nation and even if you're below the poverty line in the US you're still richer than a big chunk of the world population. Does the general security take away the close need for having thinking methods that actually result in success?

But e.g., Scandinavian countries, which seem to be pretty rich, don't seem to be equivalently insane. Maybe the smaller size and relative homogeneity helps prevent internal conflict that serves as a seed for this sort of thing?

What substantiates the claim that support for BLM (or adjacent events) is "coming from some deep lack of interest in truth or rigorous analysis"? A concrete example would be helpful -- without committing to agree or disagree, that claim is not obvious to me.

It's dogmatic ideology/10. Same level of discourse on the right with the Qanon cult, with fantastical expectations, expressions, amd solutions for the deeply infatuated. At their roots, it shows a massive level of distrust/discontent in the greater "American system".

A lot of people mistakenly believe they are informed because they trust the sources they get info from. Also, there exists a “you wouldn’t understand” mindset surrounding so-called experts that actively discourages probing inquiry.
