An opinion of pure sensationalism.
It needs a particularly potent brand of coolaid to think that the thousands of people who went to do the Q-putsch somehow magically arose from "tech" giving them fertile ground.
The fertile ground was a country on the brink for more than a decade. Denying that, and trying to find "alternative facts" belong to the domain of psychiatry no less than calls to drink Chlorox.
Seeing no acknowledgement that 74 millions of US citizens decided to vote to say FU to the American establishment is a sign that bigger problems for US are yet to come.
While the version of events leading to the civil war given in popular history books try no wrap it all around the slavery, it's an incredible shallow explanation omitting complete economic domination of northern states, and bigger picture of social dynamics of the time. Saying that the south went to war "just to keep their slaves" is terribly incomplete picture.
