Converting Social Media from Monologue to Dialogue

Can I share with you a concern about Care2 and other Social Media?The governments of the USA, Canada and other NATO countries are using Social Media in the same way George Orwell forecast in his classic 1984. Orwell was writing from his perspective having witnessed the British government funded social and economic 'hate' programs against Nazi Germany of World War Two.  Orwell could see how easily the English people descended into intense hate for the German, Austrian, Italian, Romanian, Japanese and other Axis nationals.
Today these same mono-lectic hate campaigns through carefully orchestrated Social Media are being used by resource hungry governments with xenophobic agendas to muster popular support in order to arm rebels to destroy Afghanistan, Iraq, bomb Libya and other campaigns in a false "Arab spring".  Israel, the USA, Canada in this order are the three highest armament, component and security industry producers per capita on the planet.  Other NATO countries follow closely and every military nation on earth now has some devoted web presence.  Military personnel and armament industry employees are being instructed / hired to spend part and even all of their days in spreading their messages of xenophobic war producing hate on social media.  When ever there is a war going on somewhere on the planet, it is providing jobs and profits for those nations who make war their business.
Social Media can be used to support dialectic, two sided dialogue discussions / 'debates' (French 'de' = 'undo' + 'bate' = 'the fight') among differing parties.  Our Sustainable Development Corporation and Indigene Community www.indigenecommunity.info use a method called Both Sides Now, equal time recorded dialogues as a simplified easy to use method in our community building work.  Care2 is welcome to use this letter or any of our materials to take Social Media from monologues to dialogues between opposing sides. https://sites.google.com/site/indigenecommunity/structure/1-both-sides-now-article  Dialogue is the 'truth-search' Satyagraha path to peace.
