"If the CIA or MI5 wanted to encourage a style of 'activism' that could consume an infinite amount of energy, yet was utterly ineffective at anything other than dividing people, it would be the prominence of this very type of politics.

We do not need politics that explicitly sets out to divide us and perfectly mirrors what it claims to oppose."
