I definitely agree with the idea that social media has created a bunch of "odd" groups and a ton of division, but sometimes I wonder what the alternative is. It seems like prior to social media we had mass media and that served as basically the forcing function, there was a more national concept of shame. Nowadays the concept of social shaming doesn't really work because you have competing factions with belief systems that are so far apart that all you really get is shaming "within the group".
