There's definitely nothing enlightened about saying to somone "if you do an evil thing, I promise to stay out of it, and look the other way. We can even still be friends!"
There's a word for that: cynicism.
The thing is, by France promising to stay out of it, and continue to trade with China, even if they invade Taiwan -- while encouraging the rest of Europe to stay neutral -- Macron has actually increased the chances a democratic nation and free people will face a military invasion and subjugation by an autocratic regime.
What an asshole.
Yum. 
There appears to be a category mistake buried in your point, here.
Mount Fuji! 
Macron: "I believe China is a force for peace in the world!"
Also, Macron: "I am completely indifferent to whether or not China wants to invade Taiwan! Also, France will deepen military ties with China!"

I met a Chinese woman living in Japan yesterday, who was placed under house arrest for three months for what she wrote on WeChat. And now I'm reading about how Macron is promising to make France closer to China and more distant from the US.
I actually think European strategic autonomy is a good thing -- I don't think the EU should be an American security vassal. But damn.
Also, the way he talks about American decoupling from China is an opportunity for Europe to deepen economic integration with China is fucking nuts.
It's pretty disturbing that he seems comfortable with the Sino-French relationship being a one-way street. Which is wildly out-of-step with the opinion of the average European.
It's neat that China extracted concessions from Macron, and their response to Macron on Russia was basically "go fuck yourself". Macron said he is committed to deepening economic and military ties with the Chinese Communist Party. He also promised France will be neutral if China invades Taiwan.
I am just outright fearful of the downsides of groupthink and out-group demonization. I think it's dangerous and leads to dark places.
How would you define "my people"? For me, I would define it as my friends and family. I generally don't have a definition of "my people" that is based on ideology.
Disagree. I think echo chambers are always a net negative. If you believe something strongly, you'll learn more about your own opinions and beliefs by having them competently challenged. And if you cannot defend your opinions and beliefs in the face of challenge, then perhaps you should consider changing your mind.
That's my hope, certainly!
Yes. Audience capture plays into it for a lot of people.
Technically, everything we believe are opinions. Including things generally considered facts. It ultimately comes down to degrees of credence.
Referring to a lot of people, of many ideological dispositions.
Yeah, as a pro-bitcoin person myself, I take the increasingly unpopular position that it is something that has to be fought for, and argued for. Others roll their eyes and believe the die is already cast. That, bitcoin has basically already won, and it's only a matter of time. I am incapable of seeing the world this way on basically anything.
There's a different degree version of this, where they recognize people don't agree with them. It goes like this: if everyone knew what I knew, everyone would agree with my ideological conclusions.
