This reads like it's straight out of a dystopian book.

Who gets to define who are the unhelpful fringes? Surely they would never be groups or political leanings I support... That would be bad right?

Thaslts the rub. Everyone is the good guy in their own story, right?

People on the whole also have a poor grasp of history and struggle to grasp how different things really were in the past.
