You don't need 'common cultural touch stones' when you have shared real life experiences.

When you take away all other shared experience, what remains is politics, the nuts and bolts of running a society. We've seen a surge in political extremism lately; one thing that drives political extremism in general is the inability to share non-political experiences with one's political opponents.
