Wonderful discussion I agree totally. Here in England their a is huge let right divide. Our media is extremely powerful an you are defined by what paper your read.
Interestingly I also think football teams are a massive problem with collectivism the rivalry is huge to the extent fights are regular just because someone supports another football team. At weekends the all clamber on trains with the kits and scarf sining their anthems trying to drown out anyone who sings different! 💯🐒
