    Do you think it’s a coincidence that the left-wing bloc (in the US, at least) has become so fractured since the Twitter takeover?

    It’s been fractured since long before that. The fracture started around the Occupy Wallstreet movement.

      Leftist movements have been continuously attacked, suppressed, and fractured since the '60s (see also: the assassinations of MLK Jr. and Fred Hampton), if not earlier.

      Nevertheless, the subversion of Twitter is particularly significant.

        Almost as if they spend significant time and effort strategizing how to interfere with threats to their dominant position 😕

        Leftist movements have been kept fractured in the US since the start of the 20th century. The lefts accomplishments peaked in the 1930s and 40s with FDRs new deal. And has been on a steady fractured declined since.

      Are you familiar with the phrase “divide and conquer”?

      Ask yourself how come there is always these fractures appearing out of nowhere as soon as leftists organize?

              it’s so catchy, i hope tehy try it out! maybe they can characterize their opposition as traitors to the country, and lock them up, too!
