with the war in ukraine, for example, i find a huge disconnect about how reality is described in the media and some actions are seen as evident and necessary, and how people in my social circle feel about it...

Submitted post title, as it was for the first 100+ upvotes: “Vocal minority sets online discourse, distorting real-life perception” OTOH, if someone reads the article, your comment makes sense, given the section heading: “A vocal minority sets the agenda”
