    The way "culture war" is now waged on social media -- highly reactive snap judgments based on incendiary video snippets, which are then monetized because they generate lots of "engagement" -- is so corrosive. Unless people really try to be more conscientious, it spells disaster

        That’s one of the biggest drivers of polarization today: social media is forcing us to make snap judgments.

        Some really smart sciencey type person needs to invent a time machine & rush back to June 1,1980 and stop Ted Turner from making a huge mistake. It can be a Delorean, a Pinto, or a cardboard box .... just make it happen! You're our only hope!

        Can you name a specific example of what you cite? One with, say, Maxine Waters?

        These are conscious efforts to steer all conversation into race/gender narratives. Clickbait identity agitprop is much easier than challenging billionaires(Bezos) or the Pentagon and the CIA. It's just started, as we approach 2020 these stunts will be daily occurrences.

        The way to fight back against billionaires is to fight back against social justice media. Social justice demands open borders, which means cheaper employment for billionaires, and a more disenfranchised/poverty stricken domestic population.

        Oh. I’m glad I donate to you. You are one of the last few honest ones with integrity. Of course we don’t agree on everything but we both still have a conscience and an intact soul.

        You forgot to mention that you’re actually a main player within what you described. In fact, I’m willing to bet that if you weren’t getting enough ‘engagement’ you’d likely make more extremists types of statements. Nearly everyone yearns for attention. Welcome to the US!

        Essentially, the media reported the story correctly. Those kids were way out of line. Just because there is more to the story, doesn’t make that point incorrect.

        How about some good ol' fashion lawsuits. Might not be able to stop people making snap judgments, but we can punish news media.
