but also it seems like people are actually coming to realize that the thing they're doing is making them miserable and there might be a genuine opportunity in all that misery for meaning-makers to present genuinely compelling new visions of how to live

Hmm... from what I recall of the post, didn't SSC's archipelago model have some kind of wizard/UniGov in the background making the whole thought experiment workable? That kind of mediation is *conspicuously absent* from current culture war conditions

In the thought experiment, that entity ensured that kids in each system were raised with the knowledge of other systems, and it enforced freedom of movement. Also prevented fighting among groups / polluting the commons, etc.
