Now these major publications are large, and they’ve certainly published more than one perspective. But the overarching effort, as the sympathy for Luigi and the rage against UnitedHealth refuse to go away, has increasingly gone towards discouraging people from any sort of class consciousness. And yet this push is failing...

they've seemed to ceded this ground on late night tv and stopped talking about it except for the barest minimum of acknowledgement; they're learning how to mitigate this movement and it makes me fear that they'll eventually figure out how to destroy it like they did every single other time in the past.

Don’t worry, they’re managing information flow on corporate social media as well.

i keep getting stunned at how well curated it is.

i'd like to think i've always been (at least) vaguely aware that i was being manipulated; but watching the "islands of sanity" i've used to help me cope for the last few decades of my life kowtow in real time has been more eye opening than the tiny bits of theory i've started so far.

I fully expect that this whole thing will fizzle in due time.
