This is really a monumental societal change.
3rd spaces are nearly completely destroyed, and online seems to be the main option for ppl now.

Third spaces are, I think, an important part of society. It provides an avenue for hearing other opinions and getting outside the echo chamber.
Is the bar or a church the best place to hear or share a dissenting opinion?
No, but no two people agree on entirely everything so a bit of discussion helps people see that it’s ok not to sycophantically repeat what their influencer hero says.
I fully agree with you. There’s a reason why people that are terminally online often have pretty extreme ideas.
It really feels like it’s getting more and more difficult to have a good discussion where you can disagree on something but still talk to each other about it. People are in their echo chambers and the dissonance of that to the opinion of someone else is so large that they can’t do anything but call it fake or wrong.
