The bit about pamphleteering morphing into the panopticon with increasing alacrity really lands. I watched my own family splinter over COVID/vaccines—people who used to agree on everything suddenly cant even sit at the same table. You're right that each new spectacle fragments us into smaller units, and the scary part is how automatic it feels now. Like we're all just algorithmically sorted into our designated silos without even realizng it.
I have slam through all my email today, as I think the Nasties are invading my puter... I'm in the library. I'm telling you this because it feels like the beginning of yet another way to SILENCE people. So... I have a TON of email to get through (I'm in the public library), but I did read some of this! I like your page. Anyway, keep it up, I'll be back, hopefully, soon.
Fixed
