There is a dominant discourse that is cultural and inevitably ethnic. How is this going to work in a plantation earth corporate future? So dismantling this appears to have been decided.
Looking beyond existing cultural controls, what can replace it? If it is not strictly based on facts and reason (think along "the medium is the message") then control of medium grants societal control. At some point I think this will move on from historic grievances platform to some arbitrary 1984ish 'receive social instructions hour' sort of thing.
I too, btw, am an immigrant, born in Iran. And equally baffled as to what beyond the usual trope of incompetence can explain this sort of clearly orchestrated effort at inflaming social tension along every seam, ludicrously exaggerating the crimes of the dreaded White Man. Reminds me of the Monty Python skit in Life of Brian, discussing all the evils of the Romans. The whole thing is a strawman that you just know at some point will be robustly done away it, ushering in what? Possibly fascism. Certainly someone is insistent on making sure at some point things boil over.
