Division - you may think water but it goes deeper. I'm going to talk about the how this occurs.
Neurochemical-driven cognitive dissonance reduction: Defending a belief not for its truth but rather for the neurological effect it gave you while consuming it.
This mainly occurs through social media. Echo Chambers and such. The algorithm that can basically read your mind gives you the perfect dopamine enriched videos to fuck with you head. This can happen no matter what your beliefs are.
When you attack someone's beliefs, they see it as attacking there happiness, sovereignty, livelihood. Pursuing the truth is seen as harsh attacks on communities.
This explains all the mental gymnastics of all sides, corners and centre of the political sphere.
Implications
Nothing except walking mindlessly to project 2030 heaven will ever happen. You often hear people say "8 billion people vs 3,000" reffing to g-pop vs uber rich. Not realising the 3k have resources and are completely united, the 8bil aren't. Constant infighting means forever no progress.
Its obviously om purposes, but it worked a d there's nothing we can do.
This also explains the "soy-ness" of many. Not wanting to offend anyone because deep down they understand this.
Obviously this may struggle with however you define truth, but you still likely understand the message.
