All being provoked, exacerbated & magnified by the "they".

To further their evil, wicked, intent; by the mantra of divide & then RULE.

Yes, all being provoked - and I would say, very often instigated and controlled - by the "they." The mantra? My sense: it's even nastier - way nastier - than the one you give. With "diversity is all good," it's the opposite of divide - it's deny difference, deny perception, deny that evaluating is good ("it's wrong to be judgemental"). The division is between those who go along and those who don't. The most popular UK politician about 50 or so years ago: career ended IMMEDIATELY and UTTERLY when he gave his incredibly popular speech on no mass immigration - something like that.

I feel there is something important in the "obidience/disobidience" themes - words that I have been musing about too. I think these idealogues and elites want our utter obidience even if it at gunpoint, and they cannot bear be to second guessed, satirised, or made fun of.

Agreed. Lots to mull over - a favorite thinking technique of mine, just to let the thoughts go wherever they want in my mind - no thought to obedience, or boundaries, or disciplines. Hare-brained thinking, in other words. Then things settle. Hmmm, so that's what makes sense. Satire, humor - that breaks narrow-brained thinking.
