Some people from both sides may cross that bridge. But others on both sides may reasonably conclude: that also means erasing all middle-level communities. A totalitarian world government, even a well-intentioned one, would erase cultural distinctions and dissolve communities. So the people who don't cross the bridge might call themselves the "thick alignment" axis — prioritizing thick community — while those who cross it represent a "thin axis." This thick/thin axis is entirely new. It wouldn't have emerged before the bridge between the UBI people and the doomers was identified. A new bridge also generates new differences.
