Internet group think means everyone has to walk on egg shells or be ostracized with downvotes pointless disagreements, ect...
Social media has put society into packs, with a pack mentality. It's often just better to not comment... And yes these things flow through to real life, and how shit goes down there too.
Tribalism predates the internet by MANY centuries, though nice try.
The Internet allows those tribes to grow their numbers into the millions, though.
So nationalism didn't exist before the internet? Countries and political parties never had numbers in the millions? Religions didn't brainwash their members and start wars for centuries just to extinguish "the other"?
You seem to be failing to understand how absolutely stupid the average human is, and has been since the beginning. These lazy thought patterns have been around since the beginning of thought.
