@cjd IDT it has a single thing to do with any kind of politics. Or religion which people conflate all the time. The profiteers have been fooling the masses forever, if they can't do it with faith they will convince them it's a CULTURAL war, with the "VANISHING" this and that (marriage, faith, the left, the right, etc etc ad nauseum). The reality ofc being is that EVERYTHING is vanishing by design, including common sense, logic and the ability to see beyond the self. Stir in a bit of CIA influenced postmodernism! The half educated eat those words like candy which is why "word salad" is apropos. If you say DIVIDE ET IMPERA to most people you will get the dark silence of ignorance, or an argument that blames ANYTHING BUT REALITY.
Political polarization, where society splits into irreconcilable camps.
Social media, which amplifies conflicts and polarizes opinions.
Artificially created tensions between different communities or groups.

These divisions can be exploited by those who stand to benefit AND WHO BENEFITS?
