John Robb has a concept of Networked Tribalism, which is a result of the combination of filter bubbles, AI algorithms, and political polarization. Robb is a military analyst who looks at the impact of technology on culture, and he started his Global Guerrillas blog back in 2003 where he was tracking what he calls the 'Open Source Insurgency' in Iraq where there over 70 different factions who were all collaborating against the U.S. occupation. Open Source Insurgency morphed into Open Source Protest with Occupy Wall Street and the protest movements around the world, and then eventually into Open Source Politics with the 2016 Trump campaign, and then eventually into what he calls 'Networked Tribalism.' Robb now runs his Global Guerrillas Report through his Patreon.
