Is it any different from how it was before? Perhaps the same diversity of opinion was always there, but some people simply didn't have a voice -- and now they do.
I don't know if I even believe this hypothesis, but I haven't seen any systematic study to prove/disprove it. Simply many assertions that people are more divisive.
Thank you for the response. My original post wasn't meant to specify that the climate is /more/ divisive, but to ask the community what kind of ideas we can implement to make the community /less/ divisive.
Also, a friend recently sent me this article which might support the idea that climate has indeed become more divisive, even if this wasn't my original post's reasoning.[1]
