This makes sense to me, thank you. I have lost a friend because of conflicting political views, maybe I'll give her a call.

Not a single mention that this problem is based around the political party or tech firm or activist group profiting from their efforts to polarise. The problem with democracies is they require campaigns, and those campaigns win based on the money they spend. They fundraise on this fear.
So either capitalism and democracy have to start restraining themselves, or this isn't peak. I'm wagering we have a ways to go.
