This definitely. The US has reached a fairly catastrophic level of social dysfunction today, a bizarre and perhaps unprecedented sort of social polarization that bodes very ill for the future. It has appeared in social media, it might be accelerated by social media but it isn't explained by social media. The division of the US into "red counties" and "blue counties" especially should have people worried. Even more, the existence of a multitude of Christian institutions parallel to secular institutions (from Christian "health experts" to Christian law schools and colleges to Christian media to Christian rock) bodes further ill for unified nation.
I mean, genocide in Myanmar happened through Facebook but Facebook didn't create it out of nothing. Genocide in Rwanda happened through radio, TV and word-of-mouth but wasn't explained by these either.
