When communities degrade to the point of arrogantly presuming to make life-and-death decisions for others, I do not know how it can get worse.
Word!
In addition to the other observations I have already shared here in the comments, I consider this idea to be much more influential on the drifting apart of communities than any technology. Thanks for letting me pick up on your thoughts here!
Technology, however, whether print or screen time, I consider to be extremely influential on the perception of these phenomena. When fewer people were involved in politics, they were less concerned with other people's business.
Which reminds me of this wonderful short story by Eric Frank Russell: "And then there were none." With a whispering MYOB to all those who do decisions for others, no matter how few or how many.
