"The Disintegration Directive"

I hate Twitter, but sometimes it's the place where important things get said. This thread on how cancel culture resembles less Mao's Cultural Revolution than a practice of the East German government is worth considering. 

As far as I know the government does not employ a Stasi-like secret police to harass ordinary citizens, although the actions against Trump core allies like Roger Stone looked rather similar. Yet there do seem to be cadres in our institutions and cities, which was a major similarity to the Cultural Revolution and its Red Guards.
