just a hunch lately that perceived constriction / entrenchment of viewpoints is related to increased material inequalityI think there's definitely something here; I was talking about this over the weekend with my partner where I put forward the theory that conservative fiscal policy has done a very good job of concentrating more money in the hands of fewer rich people at the top while liberal social policy has brought more people to the table in terms of who gets to participate in/benefit from federal programs, leaving the "traditional" (read: White) participants who aren't megawealthy feeling that they have to share fewer resources with more people and having them come to the conclusion that the correct solution is to prevent these uppity newcomers from participating rather than expanding the pool of available funds by taxing the megawealthy, who will be able to support their families through at least their great-grandchildren's generations based on what they already have.

I've been thinking along these lines recently and would add that climate change is a factor as well.
There are lots of people who "don't believe in man-made climate change" but will concede that "weather" is cyclical and has gotten worse (cf. "Tornados weren't as bad when I was younger, but it's not man made). I view this and the simultaneous/related economic inequality issues as creating a sort of "background radiation" of anxiety we are all living in that feels inescapable, even for those who would deny it's existence.

one year passes...
from the thread "What Can't You Find On The Internet?":
thanks, Kate.so if i could re-write my post, it would go like this.
1. can anyone recommend an interesting / critical perspective -- via book, blog post, article, twitter thread, etc. -- about the ubiquity of content and the techniques of content marketing?
2. seeking recommendations for twitter feeds, blogs, authors, even ILX threads i'm not aware of, that focus on the internet, and particularly advocates for free / open online spaces.
thanks

i might be having a different perspective on Content than you do, but to me the salient feature of Content is the way it engages us emotionally; I see Content as monetizing the cycle of abuse for corporate profit. my particular focus personally is on queer discourse, and i like a video lily alexandre posted last week on this topic:

if you see content and discourse as separate things i'd definitely be interested in exploring the differences further!
