Replace teachers with politically extreme ideologues. Ruin community social spaces. Antagonize everyone to no longer chitchat with their neighbors. Take away churches and contaminate what is left by seeding them with woke saboteurs. Reduce conversations and discussions down to soundbites chosen for their spectacle and drama rather than content and details. Sap everyone's attention spans and cognitive focus with glittery interuptophones and the next great shiny and noisy thing.

If the only voice that people hear is the one filled with poison because all others have been choked and stifled into silence, we get the current situation.
