Western Democracies are sleep-walking into their own destruction by way of hostile foreign influence of the population.

Our governments have foolishly, stupidly allowed social media to be used by adversaries to provoke dissension, coordinate destructive mob action, to influence elections, etc, etc.

We are going to be destroyed because we give our hostile adversaries the same benefit of the doubt, the same freedoms, the same access to our population, as we do our own people.

Notably, the same does not apply in the reverse.
