You'd probably need to use the "5 why" questions to get to the bottom of of knee jerk positions such as those on immigration. But once you get to the root of it, I suspect that it would show we have more in common that people realize.

They've been given false arguments why things aren't better now. By imagining utopia, you could start to focus on our shared aspirations.

Thanks for posting - thought-provoking...
