I believe it serves many functions, and yes one of them is division. We saw this with the Ukraine war psy-op. The day they announced the conflict, any mention of CV-1984 or case count BS literally disappeared from sight. Gone. That's how you know it's planned.

Sadly yeah, that's definitely how we can tell. Now, no one cares about the Ukraine war, it's crazy how orchestrated things are.
