      I should not have used the phrase “everyone’s narratives”. I was referring more to tribalism.

      So, for example, when we start analyzing the US-Iran hostilities, we can’t trust any narrative that comes out of either the US or Iran. Recently, a school was hit by a US missile and children died, it tugged my heartstrings. I felt outrage. But then someone pointed out that the report of dead children could be a psy-op by Iran. Ok, fair point. Time to withhold judgement and check other sources for more information. In this case, it seems that the report was tragically genuine.
