What does that say about "democracy" and collectivist politics more broadly?

About democracy it says that it works. Democracy does not rely on good will or on honesty, it relies on self interest.
Meanwhile, information hygiene is threat to democracy. A democracy is a careful balance, which in turn mitigates the worst outcomes of all alternatives.
As for the second part of your question, you will have to be more specific.
This is partly because public discourse is incapable of nuance and because often those criticizing are in fact much much worse than the system being criticized.
In the early years of the internet, we naively believed the interconnectedness of the internet would solve such things. Good will, honesty, and, proper information hygiene do not scale.
