On target. You've hit on the essential problem in opposing the madness. Anything, and I mean anything, will be amplified that 1)causes disunity, and 2)does not link our problems to the economic system. When one digs deep into CIA ops--I mean first person accounts from former operatives--one understands how absolutely pervasively this is used to destabilize target nations, movements, ideologies, individuals and organizations. Larges swathes of the Left and Right are funded, albeit obliquely, by the CIA simply to serve the purposes of division. Our contemporary culture wars are amplified by the deep state and those in its employ. I could give a thousand examples. I will cite just one good source, "Who Paid the Piper?" by Frances Stonor Saunders, subtitled "The CIA and the Cultural Cold War", an exegesis of the cultivation of the "compatible Left" weaponized against communism. In our current confused and poisoned state, it is virtually impossible to build a disciplined, coherent mass opposition.

The bottom line is we have stopped thinking like mature citizens of Nations that try to work with other ones but as some mixed up global village with no clear agenda which has allowed pollution of religion social norms and conflicting ideologies to infect the base national spirit of most western nations.

The choice is go back to some reasonable state of a nation by deglobalizing back inside realistic trade blocs and clean out the extremes or just allow a total global melting pot that will not end well.
