      In many countries vicious online infighting destroyed what was left of the dissident energy. It's part of the arc of movements losing steam.

      Nobody will listen to me but if someone is being rude, mute them & let them speak into the ether. If you want to answer, do it in long form.

      Twitter should step up helping mute/block coordinated harrasment campaigns. But often it's not just supporters of your "political opponent."

      It's like rubbernecking on a car wreck. Among millions, there are just people who will jump in & fan the flames. Wide reach comes with this.

      It happens on left & right. Any group who can't learn to deescalate online vicious fights will become nothing. Seen it globally, repeatedly.

      I also know nobody will listen to me. 😟 This is all of political history. Still, it's 2016. Takes few to cause what appears as a big ruckus.

          they were so tolerant that they had platforms opposed to everything they stand for (post-privacy). All criticism public, too.

          but also a lot of Alpha Male infighting drama and a complete loss (IMHO) of direction and goals.
