Thanks for posting this. Very insightful. I've come to believe lately that this sort of thing is caused, to some extent, by the decline of Christianity in the west. I'm not religious myself and used to consider that a virtue (rational man yadda yadda). These days I'm much less sure it's such a good idea. It appears that with the decline of the Church all that's happened is people invented a new one, but a rather nasty one that sounds a lot like the religions of a couple thousand years ago: obsessed with converting heretics whether they want to be converted or not, a whole lot of destruction of pagan idols, making people into martyrs and so on. On balance, given a choice between the kind of hate filled behaviour the article describes, or God-fearing people, I'd much rather be around the latter. And if forced to choose a tribe I guess I'd pick them too, as the modern religious seem much nicer, calmer and more accepting than the "woke".
