         | That is still too kind. The insurrection was planned by the
         | same types of corpo-fascist lobbyists that orchestrated the
         | push of "woke", DEI, advocating for illegal immigration, etc.
         | Take legitimately understandable frustrations, radicalize both
         | sides with a culture war of feel-good half solutions that
         | revolve around blaming their neighbors, smash the divided
         | people into one another, and no matter which "side" "wins" the
         | unaccountable corporate power structure ends up advancing.

         | Online message boards were merely places for recruiting foot
         | soldiers and getting them riled up.

         | every major social media platform is in scope here.
