I know this will be an unpopular take but I would not be me if I self censored.

In my grumpy old man shouting at the clouds opinion this is not a left-right issue. Both boots left and right have been increasingly trying to get control of the narrative on the internet for a long time now, basically since TV has been dying/dead and the internet has been a greater influence in peoples lives. There are also a growing number of former federal employees going through a revolving door and getting jobs at all the big platforms which is entirely legal AFAIK but also dangerous. This allows them to officially state non compliance and instead just prefer to comply anyway.

My question is, how do we break the left-right our team vs. their team arguments that leadership absolutely love for us to get into? How do we make it "those teams vs us"? Purple boots vs. the people. Is this something HN is capable of or has the internet jumped the shark so to speak? Is it a matter of helping both teams see that their leaders report to the same deep state or does anyone even care? I personally just see left-right as different ephemeral style-sheets.
