Get up on your feet and do the Funky Alfonzo

This is called politics.

pol·i·tics
ˈpäləˌtiks
noun

The activities associated with the governance of a country or other area, especially the debate or conflict among individuals or parties having or hoping to achieve power.

It just happens to be CYBER-enabled these days.

Edit: The extremely reflexive sort of debate you're referring to (regardless of medium) has echos of the political climate just prior to the American Civil War http://cwnc.omeka.chass.ncsu.edu/exhibits/show/benjamin-hedrick/polticalclimate
