There used to be “discourse.” A “marketplace of ideas.” Genuine engagement. The media has always had an element of cynicism to it, but it hasn’t always been like this.
No one’s done that in at least 10 years. The sides are drawn. Every word of “discourse” is instrumentalized.

Leftists have an instinctual revulsion to white people. That’s their driving impulse. The Right is a lot less unified, but the most-unifying revulsion is to disorder.

Everything skinsuiting as an “argument” is just expressing this lizard-brain-tier reflex.
It doesn’t matter the topic — the reflex creates the argument.
Arguments created those reflexes, 15-70 years ago maybe. But those arguments don’t “exist” anymore. Just the reflexes.

The term has been beaten to death, but definitionally this is a “cargo cult”
