Most if not all of these have one side that is clearly in the wrong. Real life is more complicated. Conflicts are usually gray vs. grey, with both sides having identifiable faults and justifications. But even then, if you spent all your time seeing the world from the perspective of certain designated protagonists you'll likely sympathize with them anyway.

While this is undoubtedly true, I think OPs post misses the point for a more depressing reason, people generally believe what they're told to believe, thinking about things is hard and most people are exhausted.
