It's a standard idiom in the English language used to describe an increasing growth of mutually suspicious localism. I know of no close substitute for this word and no offense is intended.

It has become standard in recent years and it's very offensive, misinterpreted and with no root in empirical historical data. I could create one geographically connected to any part of the world with same meaning. You can use misbelief, trust lacking.English vocabulary is rich
