8. Yasha Levine made this exact point a while back

It has been almost twelve years now since he wrote this essay — which was about a toxic and destructive political culture that had appeared in left-liberal circles on the back of social media technologies. One of the core traits of this new formation was to viciously attack people inside your own camp — to strip down and cancel people for some perceived transgression…for saying the wrong thing, for not being pure enough, for having too much privilege. As Fisher pointed out, the people engaged in this new politics were usually atomized and lacked any connections to each other in the real world. Instead, their in-group identity was built around virtue signaling and online gang-stalking mobs and spectacle. It was all about tearing people down — a kind of macabre entertainment in the ignorant and malicious mob justice against people who were or could have been comrades, people who were on “your side.” Fisher was deeply depressed by the emergence of this toxic culture and that he considered exiting politics altogether. To him this wasn’t politics; it was anti-politics. Two years later, he killed himself.

Speaking of Yasha, I have to log off and go focus. I have been cut off from my real world colleagues and friends thanks to horrible crap from these lousy tech cos’ coup of everything with bloatware.
Yasha has become a sort of guide in this chaos the absence of a formal group..
