This is really a monumental societal change.

3rd spaces are nearly completely destroyed, and online seems to be the main option for ppl now.

I fully agree with you. There's a reason why people that are terminally online often have pretty extreme ideas.

It really feels like it's getting more and more difficult to have a good discussion where you can disagree on something but still talk to each other about it. People are in their echo chambers and the dissonance of that to the opinion of someone else is so large that they can't do anything but call it fake or wrong.
