Does seem to happen a lot... and keeping people all stirred up and in their emotions is perhaps the most toxic thing the MSM does. As psychologists will tell us: "People can't hear anything when they are in their Complex." If you can whip people into an emotional frenzy you get lots of "chaos and action" but typically very little actual dialogue and resolution.

Which is why I believe that it is up to the individual to build emotional maturity and control - no one else is invested in helping along the way - especially not the media.
Emotional maturity is definitely key. I have to wonder if there is a change in the general level of emotional maturity in society or if things like the pseudo anonymity and immediacy of the virtual forum just make it much more apparent. Of course I'm only in my 30s so I was still pretty emotionally immature in the days before the internet so theres no way for me to really compare...
I am not sure - but I suspect that when there is more real-life interaction, people are exposed to a wider range of feedback and randomization that enhances learning. The internet allows for picking and choosing to create echo chambers that are further fed by algorithms.
Important point... it seems like that randomization is precisely what's missing from perspectives. People gravitate towards their echo chambers and then start operating under the false assumption that "most people think this way" because within their small slice that IS true, but it doesn't hold true on a broader scale.
And then there is the issue that even when they look a bit further, the algorithms are still feeding them more of the same.
True, if we’re not exposed to a range of opinions then whenever something triggers any cognitive dissonance We are probably more likely to have an emotional reaction
