"In the sense that if two groups of people are screaming very, very loudly about something, I tend to assume that both groups of people are rabid extremists and that unless there’s a very good reason to believe one group over the other it’s best to assume they’re not getting the full picture."
I just want to note that this seems suspiciously spoofable. If a group (say, the Internet Research Agency) can pose as people who believe in a cause and are screaming about it, then they can convince you that people who believe in that cause are all screaming, and therefore that you shouldn't be listening to anyone who talks about that cause.
