@skematica I used to think that the Internet was one of those, "Something happens", moments. Sadly, even there, the borders and walls go up and each group can be fed bias by the appropriate media outlet with little tidbits to outrage tossed in to keep the click-income healthy.
I think it's worse than before, actually, because every little nugget of information can be tailor made and consumed. Socially, it's a regression.
