That's...also something I've noticed. A group of friends of mine who have heretofore been very chill and tolerant of differences (not SJW, actually accepting that reasonable people can disagree) have lately dogpiled me repeatedly with insulting language over really bizarre things that don't merit it.
And they've started demonstrating increasing groupthink behaviors even beyond that, down to "I was always taught that so it must be true"--even knowing and having said themselves that public school is an indoctrination factory and mostly worthless.
The weirdest part is that they'll go at me, and then five seconds later be all back to happy, and genuinely shocked that I'm still jarred or offended by what they literally just did to me.
I'm keeping them at arm's length, and I'm not likely to contact them unless they contact me. Really distressing.
