The schism started well before Bane and Shad took control. Even before the David fiasco they tried to literally ban anyone who posted on T_D, because they didn't want to be associated with any dirty Right wingers in their "actually totally Leftist" revolt.
They've done a world of hurt to their own brand with this mess.
Mastercard hurt itself in confusion!
Kind of like half-KiA, no?
Halfkia was slightly different, since the schism was intentional. Bane and Shaddist were trying to run us all off well before the vote happened.

I can't remember a time when there wasn't a schism.
