I agree entirely. I've often gone to the bottoms of comment threads on controversial topics. It should no longer be a +vote or -vote. Most + is orthodox and most - is heterodoxy.
We are seeing the fracture of the human mind. Part of it is simply the lockdowns which prevent us from being able to see and talk to each other openly. I just wrote about this before all the insanity happened:

I get - votes and people yelling at me for bad faith all the time in this thread, but I cannot simply ignore it anymore. Someone has to call people out on their intolerance and media fueled 24/7 hate. We are not in Orwell's world, because there is no way Orwell could even make this shit up. This world would frighten Orwell, and when you bring up 1984, some people will even tell you that Orwell supported fascism.
> “Don’t you see the whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought? In the end we shall make thoughtcrime literally impossible, because there will be no words in which to express it. Every concept that can ever be needed will be expresses in exactly ONE word, with its meaning rigidly defined and all its subsidiary meanings rubbed out and forgotten” -George Orwell, 1984
The hard left is controlling language. Major dictionaries changed the definition of a phrase because of what a D-Hawaii said on the floor during a Supreme Court confirmation hearing. This is insanity.
