Samenvatting

It is argued that a mainstream area that has become unpleasant is rejected by some and protected by others. Both poles, the renegades and the fanatical stragglers, grew out of the same discontent, although the polarized stayers are strongly identified with the in between. This creates the blind spot, the gap, and the in between is disregarded. Let the third and largest group live there, the indifferent, the people who think it is all right. They see both the change minded and the conservatives as somewhat polarized.
