Saw an interview a few years ago with madeleine albright where she was asked 'aren't you excited by how social media is increasing political participation' and she used the phrase 'disaggregation of voices' to say 'not really'.
If I understood correctly, she thinks that mass social platforms provide the illusion of participation because you're speaking up, but because people don't coordinate IRL or in blocks, they end up having zero impact. It removes the necessary hierarchy for movements to make decisions and wield power.
Also cannot believe they picked orange for one of the sides, that's hilarious
- amelius 7y ago> because people don't coordinate IRL or in blocks Isn't that true?
