Covid forced people online and it forced people to be more aware of online communities. What happened is people are now less aware of IRL community.
It felt to me that before you didn't care that you disagreed with someone about politics they were your mechanic and a good one so you still trusted and respected one another.
Now it feels like people place more value on ideology than other tangible elements of humanity. Like general kindness and hard work. Instead they seek this sort of ideological purity based on online community.
