I think what might be missing here is the dimension of proximity. The web makes all distant antagonisms feel local.

Proximity is one, and the nature of the difference is another. Radically different viewpoints on agriculture and food production are not the same as one-string political differences. news.unl.edu/newsrooms/toda

Does this imply that the radically different viewpoints still exist in the world where we aren't exposed to them?
There are probably a few frameworks where radical similarity makes a "better" world.
Hidden difference seems dangerous, though.

I see more overreaction to outrageous radically different viewpoints than ignorance of good radically different viewpoints.
