unraveling. There are many reasons for that but Hedges has nailed almost all of them in his article and this book.
I even see it going on here at DU. If I go to the DU Webpage without logging in the GD Group looks like a Battle Ground. I don't see it if I immediately Log In because I have many on ignore here because of the divisiveness of some that I've had bad experience with. But, it's not helpful when I realize that DU is so fractured that many of us only see people we can get along with and therefore we are cut off from what the whole site is reflecting.
But, if those of us who like to discuss issues find there are people that we can't discuss with then we have to cut them off. That's how bad things are getting here...and it's also out there in our REAL WORLD ....the terrible divisiveness, mocking, anger, provocation and sometimes sadly even hatred of our fellow DU'ers if they aren't in total agreement with an issue.
We have to hope that this sorts itself out. Things may get worse before they get better but it's very trying time to live in and Hedges and Chomsky most often get to the heart of it.
