I feel as though there should be a way to apply this depersonalization technique when attempting to de-escalate political and cultural discussions which have seized up due to tribalism.

There very well may be, but like many other things someone may have to attempt to discover it, and I see no initiatives underway, or even substantial discussion of the idea. It's very weird that known problems that people complain about constantly do not generate initiatives to improve the situation, perhaps because the problem is not materialistic we have no intuition to try to solve it?
