People live in completely different news streams.
I met a colleague at the farmer’s market. A lovely gentleman, very left-wing, of course. He started talking about some parade in Washington (or NYC?) that either recently happened or was about to happen. The parade clearly meant a lot to him. He spoke as if I were supposed to be aware of all the details, numbers, amounts.
And I had no idea what he meant. I live on my newsfeed but nobody I listen to, read, or follow has been talking about this event. I’ve been out with a friend who’s very politicized, and nothing like this got mentioned. My information bubble and the information bubble of a colleague who works in the same building are distant like planets in different galaxies.

Apartheid was all about information bubbles. Not just black and white, but also liberal and conservative. This is how a country with an ultra-conservative government could produce J.M. Coetzee.
