I think the timeless bit is that there is always an out-group. It's worthwhile to be aware of yours and whatever subconscious position you've taken regarding them.
Thats a good question. Probably, to some extent. I think social media has certainly made this worse. Which is interesting because this was written in 2014 before this was a well understood phenomenon and a familiar narrative (social media silos radicalizing people).
> I've spent basically my entire teenage and adult life fine-tuning the definition of my outgroup and becoming ever more confident that intolerance of it is just.
Maybe instead of tolerance or intolerance, you should look into what Jesus talked about. Loving your enemy.
Tolerating people is one thing. Loving them is a far greater thing
