Be wary of divisive rhetoric.
They drum up legitimate grievance on every side and then, pretending to be every side, start pointing fingers.
Like a reverberating snowball that prevents actual communication and gets their enemies working for them, usually due to a semantic or experiential difference between groups. This creates targets who in defending themselves are confused with the actual enemies using defensive or questioning rhetoric to obfuscate.
Wish there were proper places to cooperatively map and respond to these divisive manipulations.
Most attempts get astroturfed using semantic drift to drum up more division, preventing any development.
Same thing happened to discredit BLM, which was the largest target for Russian propaganda. Etc
