Possible examples: Any kind of fundamentalist, the country club crowd, North Korea and Kim Jong-un, college frat houses, gated communities, the Junior League, internet RPG’s, the bookworm (of course we can insulate ourselves.) I want you to notice, insularity as a modus operandi is usually chosen by newbies.
