'What is the point of intelligence that can identify environmental protesters but cannot link a cache of guns to a known extremist connection? What kind of vigilance mistakes the accumulation of data for comprehension?'
Such an important question isn't it. What are we doing here? I feel like the importance and emphasis so much of our society is placing on superficial culture war whipping mules has blinkered them to the real and far more consequential matters the State faces.
Such as, the triple planetary crisis which is ignored at every possible opportunity, or the destabilisation inherent of a switch from a unipolar world to a multipolar world (yes we probably have the threat of China well understood, but seem not to consider the wider implications for other nation's behaviour in that world, namely the USA's, (until maybe this year).
