Talking to each other in times of divisiveness

[silence]

How do they create division? I think the best example here is ‘wokeness’. Take a legitimate issue such as racism or feminism, stretch it to such an extent that it borders on absurdity and then fire fierce debate on the matter on all the screens people’s eyeballs are locked onto. What you get is on one side people correctly arguing that these issues are legitimate ones to talk about and on the other side people correctly arguing that the debate has been rendered absurd.

I just read that Russell Brand would have recently declared, in connection with the queen’s passing and the king’s ascent to the throne in uk:

the culture wars demand you make a choice between two things that can both be true

So apparently I have not been the only one to notice this tactic of divisiveness
