How do we end the divisive mindset?

Is it any different from how it was before? Perhaps the same diversity of opinion was always there, but some people simply didn't have a voice -- and now they do.

I don't know if I even believe this hypothesis, but I haven't seen any systematic study to prove/disprove it. Simply many assertions that people are more divisive.

Thank you for the response. My original post wasn't meant to specify that the climate is /more/ divisive, but to ask the community what kind of ideas we can implement to make the community /less/ divisive.

Also, a friend recently sent me this article which might support the idea that climate has indeed become more divisive, even if this wasn't my original post's reasoning.[1]
