Agreed that this is a wildly broad social phenomenon. As for what to do, I think socializing a defense has merit. Talking about these dangers, trying to make people smart, critical of criticism, wary of over zeal or conviction. Posting about & sharing & discussing malignent maligning forces, drawing light to radicalization, showing some of the bad impacts this talk has had. Not as a talk itself, but in terms of what a magnet for very much problematic & zealotous negativities. I see the challenge here as not merely personal, but also societal, in how we deal with especially highly critical highly skeptical behaviors, those that write things off. And the excuses, however shallow, they can stand on to reject.
