Theres a famous account of a dinner between Steve Jobs and Rupert Murdoch, in which Jobs said essentially the same thing: we are not divided by Left/Right, Conservative/ Democrat, we are divided between Constructive and Destructive, and it was clear that Murdoch was on the side of Destructive.

I've been an Unafilliated Independent for my 45+ years of voting, but since reading that, I've described myself as a Constructive Independent.

main divide nowadays is between constructive policies, that tries to solve conflicts vs destructive policies, that use hatred and division to get to their perceoved goals

I agree. There is no longer "left vs. right", it's fiction vs non-fiction !FictionNonFiction@lemm.ee

This was documented over a decade ago in year 2014:

“In the twenty-first century the techniques of the political technologists have become centralized and systematized, coordinated out of the office of the presidential administration, where Surkov would sit behind a desk on which were phones bearing the names of all the “independent” party leaders, calling and directing them at any moment, day or night. The brilliance of this new type of authoritarianism is that instead of simply oppressing opposition, as had been the case with twentieth-century strains, it climbs inside all ideologies and movements, exploiting and rendering them absurd. One moment Surkov would fund civic forums and human rights NGOs, the next he would quietly support nationalist movements that accuse the NGOs of being tools of the West. With a flourish he sponsored lavish arts festivals for the most provocative modern artists in Moscow, then supported Orthodox Christian fundamentalists, dressed all in black and carrying Jesus crosses, who in turn attacked the modern art exhibitions. The Kremlin’s idea is to own all forms of political discourse, to not let any independent movements develop outside of its walls. Its Moscow can feel like an oligarchy in the morning and a democracy in the afternoon, a monarchy for dinner and a totalitarian state by bedtime.” ― Peter Pomerantsev, Nothing Is True and Everything Is Possible: The Surreal Heart of the New Russia, year 2014

Are you not doing the exact same thing with posts like this?

No, I'm not. I'm doing !CounterSurkov@lemm.ee courseware developing on public social media systems, they (the two form X media platform in the screenshot) are inside the Kremlin simulacra patterns and are unable to defend NATO against Russia. They are in severe need of education about "media ecology" and updated on the latest tactics of Putin's military.

What is the purpose of further spreading their useless messaging?

Development of cult-deprogramming education and media ecology literacy so that the entire population of the United States of America over age 11 can "get on the same page", "find common ground" in resisting the Surkov student meme warfare against NATO / USA. To try and address the long-standing conflicts in the monomyth fiction systems that have lead to world wars and terrorism. See also community: !FictionNonFiction@lemm.ee

Conservatives are bringing civil rights protestors to El Salvadorian oubliettes.

"Conservative" is Saudi Arabia, Iran, Russia, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Algeria, Egypt... a lot people seem confused how these nations operate. Why anyone in USA would want to be like the Taliban and Kremlin... it raises serious questions as to their understanding of the current world and what kind role models they admire. Even how Elon Musk uses robots and self-driving automobiles to dominate over people. How can people on an Apple iPhone using Elon Musk's X media platform be "conserving" anything? I don't even like to use these terms "conservative" and "liberal", and I try to ask people what exact nation on Earth do you want our future to be like, what is an example of how you want the USA to be in year 2026?... you get the idea.

“Technopoly is a state of culture. It is also a state of mind. It consists in the deification of technology, which means that the culture seeks its authorization in technology, finds its satisfactions in technology, and takes its orders from technology.” ― Neil Postman, Technopoly: The Surrender of Culture to Technology, 1992
