原文及個人翻譯
An awful lot of people on here who are regarded as insightful thinkers don't know what a radical splinter is or how it functions within a movement even after they spent the last ten years seeing it happen on the Left. This is arguably the most important dynamic of our times.
Social media provides unprecedented capacity for radical splinters to form within and infiltrate movements. They always work the same way: by introducing intolerance as fellow-travel, gaining support, and externalizing the division that results when the movement catches on.
Put more simply, they ingratiate themselves into a movement and start directing it in the direction favored by the radical splinter, which is not to the advantage of the movement. Eventually, some in the movement starts realizing it's going the wrong way and start speaking up.
In the moment those people, representing the true original interests of the movement, speak up, the splinter accuses them of being the divisive elements who are trying to tear apart the movement, which has already decided to go in the direction favoring the radical splinter.
Most people in the movement are following along and have no idea that they're headed the wrong way, so they're sympathetic to the splinter and its mouthpieces, and the watchmen are thereby vilified. The dialectic produced by this grows and strengthens the splinter.
這裡有很多被認為是有洞察力的思想家，即使他們花了十年時間觀察左翼的發生，也不知道什麼是激進的分裂者，也不了解他們在（政治）運動中的運作方式。這可以說是我們這個時代最重要的動態。
社交媒體為激進分裂者在內部形成（勢力）並滲透運動提供了前所未有的能力。他們總是這樣操作：將「不容忍」（的態度？）作為同路人引入，獲得支持，並將運動發展出來的分歧外化。
更簡單地說，他們會將自己融入運動中，並開始將其引向激進分裂者所青睞的方向，這對運動不利。最終，運動中的一些人開始意識到它正在走錯路，並開始發聲。
當這些人代表運動的真正原始利益發聲時，分裂者會指控他們是試圖撕裂運動的分裂分子，並早已被決定朝有利於激進分裂者的方向發展。
運動中的大多數人正在跟隨，並不知道他們正在走錯路，因此他們對分裂者及其發言人表示同情，而看守者們因此受到詆譭。這種辯證法發展並加強了分裂者。
