>>2672700One thing to consider is that most people aren't looking to engage in discourse, they're looking to numb themselves with passive entertainment when they go to social media apps. That they can also have analysis from purveyors of their preferred politics streamed into their eyeballs is just a plus. For most people it doesn't even factor. This shit is very addictive, and our society doesn't give much competition in the way of positive recreation.
A silver lining is that it's inconsistent reward that feeds addiction, meaning that a truly satisfying social life would destroy the parasocial addiction, and truly satisfying recreation would destroy the passive entertainment addiction. We're able to play a winning move, but to do it requires huge amounts of the lowest level organizing.
Maybe once people are relieved of the addiction to bourgeois media and platforms they can be directed into federated, community/politically-ran and censorship resistant discourse and performance platforms.
>>2672761Information exchange is the heard of all organizing. It's also the heart of state control over a population. A workplace organizer tries to discover grievances, social formations, and individuals' predispositions, and then share the fact of shared grievances with all aggrieved parties, share tactics to remedy the situation, and share about potential backlash that could come from the bosses. States need info on people's grievances, on their enemies, on people's sentiments towards both, and they need to share information internally amongst disparate agencies and with the population about government efforts to alleviate their issues and propaganda that delegitimizes enemies. For communists then information is the most central thing. Organization of people into specialized roles for supporting the carrying out of our decisions being second.
