Ahhh... Errm... I am terribly afraid that you can see that happening on Twitter every day.
- luckylion 7y agoI don't know, can you? I believe what you see on Twitter is tribalism in it's purest and decentralized form. It's many smaller and larger tribes clashing all the time, because of how it's set up. People don't forget what $memberOfTheirTribe did or said last week, they fall in line because it's their tribe vs that other tribe, and consistence or purity or adherence to tribal values are less important than winning the battle.
