Yes, exactly.

It's not just twitter (which I don't follow). Mainstream media outlets like the CBC, Globe & Mail, and the Guardian all give prominent platforms to reflexively anti-Western ideologues of the identity-politics left. Though I am beginning to suspect that the purpose of those columnists is to troll the audience, and generate page hits and comments.
Then there are the regions of the web associated with nerd stuff (gaming, fantasy fiction, etc), which have become a toxic battleground of identity politics, with many sites becoming homogeneous echo-chambers representing equally obnoxious factions.
