The problem is that we've essentially invited the entire global population to participate in discussions regarding how our societies should function. For all you know you're arguing with a meth head from LA about the nuance of English Law, or some old dude from Iraq with a 9yo wife discussing marriage reform, or a literal CCP agent deliberately attempting to undermine your government. I'm finding it really hard to believe that was not deliberate sabotage.
