Indeed, but we are often so polarised by opinion that this is the way it feels. There appears to be very little middle ground as issues become more and more emotive until we reach the point where it's 0 or 1 or abstaining from making a choice.

In response to one of your questions: there is definitely no "one solution" as every case must be taken on its merits - what works in one circumstance will cause additional friction in another.

It's not always a case of "If you're not with me, you're against me."

The world is definitely analog but it is unfortunate that many feel that they should confirm to one position or the other rather than have their own opinion. We feel pressured by society to subscribe to the extreme opinions and herd behaviour also takes over. To be different is often to be ridiculed or abused and we often would rather go with the flow that put ourselves in this position.
