Given that every single potential fracture line in Western society (gender, generation, religion, politics, mod vs rocker) is now hyper polarised, it’s kind of hard to argue in good faith that the Russian troll-farms set up to agitate this weren’t in some part a success. Best case we were going to end up doing to ourselves in the online era anyway and they get to pretend they did it.

I don't think it's a natural tendency in humans. The whole echo chamber phenomenon yes but the idea that people would misrepresent the other on a way that is just pure fabrication.... Who am I kidding we've been doing this to the other since the damn of time!!!
