Good ending. Toleration of contrary opinions is difficult (especially when those views cause *actual* harm, e.g. "vaccines are safe and effective"), but in cases like this the totalitarian that lives in all our pockets comes into crystal clear view.
This is a political " stage".. these are actors and scripts ( agendas) that are a diversion/ divide& conquer play that divert energy from seeing the bigger picture... as the real threats unroll from private meetings in a way so painfully slow that it escapes the notice of the immediately gratifed vacuous, short term memory of modern humanity's drive-through mentality.. Only noticed when the convenience store shuts.
Am I looking at this correctly?
So if I let my energy be tapped by diversions, does that make me open to be used by, and as an "agent" of the matrix?
"We live in a world of governance by saturated media dominated by parasocial relationships that are cultivated for the purpose of toying with the masses. The Kunlangeta psychopaths who escape community orbit make the rules of the Matrix, and most everyone else follows. When needed, they orchestrate powerful illusions to mesmerize the masses as part of a grand process of social engineering."....
"I lean toward believing that this is an event that can be sculpted by the illusionists in several possible directions in order to achieve their primary goal, which might simply be chaos."
Scary how CC has become the 'norm'. MAD is Machiavellian and a bad idea. Already my kids can't imagine a world without cancel culture. The longer it goes on, the more entrenched these behaviours become, the less likelihood of it ever changing.
It concerns me when people make arguments like 'we'll escalate now but we'll be magnanimous once we win', as though this is something that can be switched on and off, or co-ordinated at scale. I'm not so confident about that. Then again, I understand why people in favour of MAD are exasperated with the status quo.

A thoughtful, nuanced take, as always. Thanks Bek.
Thanks Max 🙏

Well done this is a comprehensive, thoughtful analysis and also very enjoyable to read.

And this week we also had another pendulum swing with the left embracing #BlueAnon conspiracy theories! What a funny, upside down world we live in.
