‘The leaker, going by the moniker “OG,” began posting messages to the Discord chatroom last year that referenced military jargon,’
The Post reported.

Thinking like a conspiracist “OG” would have to be trump.

We know you're old.
Mature: "Having or showing characteristics, such as patience and prudence, considered typical of well-balanced adulthood"

Human Being: "Member of the human race"

Old: "State of mind" :)

I would agree with you that mature might be wishful thinking but the other two words are correct :)

So we have White Male Nationalism (been in power/want to stay in power), Christian Nationalism (power that is faith based/threatened by all sorts of ghosts) and last but not least is a Cultural Nationalism (conservative values that center around a family unit of male and female). The anger and hatred all started from fear. Fear of the unknown, fear of change and fear of the feeling of being threatened. Societal norms are changing and many people just feel threatened. It is an emotion. It is human nature. We all get caught up in right and wrong which is affected by emotion. All we can do is be aware of our emotions and manage them away from fear, anger and hatred. Democracy requires a system of governing with reason yet we are almost controlled by emotion if we do not find a way to manage. We have two political parties that hate the other based on what I hear and see. Something has to change. We can not rely on our sense of right and wrong without managing our emotions better. Is there any hope for all of us to manage our emotions just a little better and have civil conversations? I really don't know...

Religion is based on fear in order to control. MAGA/Republicans use this same method.
One of my personal favorite quotes is from Lyndon Johnson.

“If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you.”
