Sometimes I think people make an error in political analysis where they assume people hold all their political views with roughly equal conviction. In fact, people usually have some "core" views and some "peripheral" views, and will change the latter when they find core comrades.

It’s also where I think social media does do real entropic damage. I can disagree with someone but if we sampled our expressions in accordance to some asocial weighting, the sum of differences shrinks.

Social media tends to sample from those maximally antagonistic contexts though, so the sense of importance gets all distorted and the organizing principle that looks like some natural disposition is just an increasingly small set of discriminatory identities
