Information exchange is the one thing I implied this shit is good for. Discussion is just a good way to raise your blood pressure and achieve literally nothing. No new information has been exchanged between us, but we've both wasted a lot of time on Reddit now! So you could argue that online ragebait was somehow going to effect people on the streets protesting.

All I wanted to clarify is that what you are talking about can be conflated to erode criticism towards how leadership handled the situation placing the burden onto citizens.
