This is another common fallacious argument that I want to flag. Assholes will asshole somehow whether they live cheek-by-jowl with outgroup or on other side of planet. Moral-hazard-of-medium is a cheap excuse for the unimaginative drive to define yourself by dehumanizing others. https://twitter.com/max_arbitrage/status/982403306105516032 …
Yes, it’s all over, at all levels, to varying degrees And yeah I’ve seen physical examples in the past (eg ethnic violence between neighborhoods in a city between people who even look the same and in normal times get along)
