I think our individual reactions will depend on our psychological makeup. On the Myers-Briggs Personality Inventory, I consistently rank as an INTJ. A loner, an introvert, logical, etc. I think that is why I have more easily adopted my attitude toward others in this age... people make their own decisions, even if it's based on a psy-op, and they have to live (or die) with those decisions.

I realize other people are much more empathetic toward others, and will have much different reactions.
