I have a theory, and I am curious to hear if it sounds right to you:
Groups spiral into dysfunctional relationships using a process very similar to the way that individuals spiral into dysfunctional relationships.

Contempt, mockery, defensiveness, avoidance: they’re all there working in the same way.
With individuals, it’s much easier to hit the “eject” button and part ways.
Groups are more often stuck with each other. So it gets nastier and lingers longer.

Once these relationships spiral out of control it seems unlikely that they could heal. Which is maybe one theory of civilization collapse?
Anyway, just a thought!
