Yes. The purge is segregating us into easily identifiable black and red ant camps, in hopes of getting us to see our fellow ants as "the other" worthy of contempt and condemnation.

Given that half+ the country voted for Trump, Silicon Valley surely knows it's a thin excuse to claim that his supporters are dangerous radicals. I truly think the goal is to create simplified echo chambers that make it easier to profile users. It's also an attempt to split the moderates: you're either a hyper-lib Twitter user, or a hyper-conservative Parler user... and if you're not far along those spectrums, you will be by virtue of the astroturfed, botted user base on those platforms. The farther along the spectrum on either ends that we can be pushed, the easier it is to control us. The easier it is to divide us. A divided populace is easily conquered, and that's the goal. America is being balkanized.
