I think everyone is becoming more Authoritarian.

The right will never stop because the survival of their traditions depend on it. The left will never stop because they know what's best for us.

The central idea of Liberalism is that societies grow best when their citizens have enough calm space to figure out their own lives. The internet constantly shows us lives we find heretical, and without conscious effort to calm ourselves down and let go, that calm is gone.

I guess we just mob up and go to war now.

EDIT:

In a sense, the internet has crashed hundreds of millions of people into the same village. We're still working out how to live with one another.

In practice it's people screaming for leaders to make sweeping rules to fight against the corrupting influence of whatever force they don't like in their mega-village, taking turns in an escalating battle.
