Absolutely. The othering is a symptom of this tribal politics-as-team-sport too. "They are bad because they are tanky/neolib/whatever". Leads to lazy argument. Sure there are people who are dogmatic and rude, who you'll probably end up blocking, but if we all gave each other a bit of grace the quality of discourse would surely improve.
