>How do you explain this?
Technology, specifically telecommunication, dictates both the 'natural' resting homogeneity of a society and the ability of governing bodies and other institutions to manually homogenize a society. The other one is transportation, but we're really at the mercy of media these days.
Sans any kind of conspiracy (not saying there aren't); television, the world wide web, the monopolization of online social networks, and now finally large digital information companies creating centralized AI chat models, have all created funnels that keep pushing and unifying people into smaller groups. How people consume information is basically everything: it shapes the entirety of their views whether that be culture, politics, or even reality itself, so when they pass everyone through smaller needles what they essentially succeed in doing is gaining further control of people's mindsets and a better ability to groom them how they want.
One of the classic text book examples of such a phenomena is the early 80's and 90's America social engineering of modern day right and left leaning groups through the commercialization of partisan media. The right-leaning, Christian, libertarian, nationalists, were all successfully astro-turfed by huge 24/7 media personalities picked and trained by the CIA to feed them a constant garbled mess of demotivating conspiracies. Likewise the left-leaning, progressive, socialist/communist-sympathizing, groups were thoroughly made powerless by the formal corporate adoption of identity politics making "social awareness" now just a brand of conscious consumerism.
