here is an idea: progressive messaging on social media, although it can take substantial forms, is often all about taking your principles - which are sincerely noble & valid for their congruence with human dignity - & reducing them to things whose undignified role is to be pathetically disseminated through what is essentially a personal micro-campaign of guerrilla propaganda, day in & day out. & this affords an illusory sense of potentially making a difference, of swaying the tides, of being the cultural narrative, but that sense is only a mask over the real phenomenon of having incorporated into yourself, as a structure in your mind, as a component of your ego, the reflection of culture at large which is offered to you by the website. this lives in your conscience like a splinter, &, lacking any real sway over the overall climate of the site, being subject to the endless possibility of unearthing some new & upsetting crack or cranny or crevice of regressive opinions, you are compelled to endlessly piss in the wind in the pursuit of relief that will never come, like a nervous tic, neglecting to live for yourself, seeking relief from the outside due to having mistaken the outside, or rather, this technologically mediated stand-in for it, for the splinter that is inside. you are subsumed & swallowed by the website’s offer of illusory immersion in the commonality of some shared narrative or battle, maybe “transcending” the “podunk” locality of your immediately present life
