Far-Right/Far-Left Social Media Nuttery Certainly the Work of Our Enemies

Not only is our Nation hugely divided by the political extremes, but each is starting to have nutty, eerily similar positions that put our Country at risk. Meanwhile, it has come out that Facebook and Twitter are both compromised and motivated by profits to have few controls. In an era when Liberal Democracy is so popular in the world (and repressive Nationalism so unpopular), why are we letting Russia/China/Iran give us the gun to shoot ourselves in the foot?

The Klingons and Capt. Kirk were forced to reconcile after it was learned that third-party alien “fifth columnists” were using their anger as a free power source. Do you get the analogy here?

Star Trek fans will recall the episode where the alien force gets its energy from pitting the Enterprise Crew and Klingons against each other by staging petty disputes (as if the other Star Trek actors’ anger directed at prima donna William Shatner didn’t already generate enough energy). With recent revelations by Trump cabinet exiles (spurred on by book deals), Facebook and Twitter whistleblowers, it now appears that our righty-lefty disfunction is indeed largely orchestrated by our enemies, who find it frightfully easy to monkey-wrench our open society. This is at a time when these enemies (largely Russia, China, and Iran) are suffering from the weight of a “non-open society” that suppresses education, justice, and even military and economy, giving the West a big advantage if it can ever wake up from this contrived bullshit.
