The world is easier to process when people think in simple memes and see every issue as binary Extreme Good vs Extreme Evil. They can take in minimal info, make a moral judgement at a glance that agrees with the rest of their echo chamber, feel the angelic glow and scroll on to the next item in the feed. It's super efficient once you realize the so-called "gray areas" are just disingenuous shilling for the Wrong Side.
