The violent cudgel of a religious monocultural homogeny is always active and dangerous, while these days it's also all casually shadowed—and sometimes enhanced—by the consolidation of most of human society under a few digital umbrellas. The consolidation of forums and social platforms on the internet by social media conglomeration is an absurd tragicomedy whereby terror groups actively recruit angry young dudes on Facebook chat and billionaires and famous public figures are radicalized by teenagers's memes.
It's remarkable in hindsight that it was any sort of surprise to discover social media platforms were and are agreeably weaponized by international state and industry-oriented propaganda objectives. Now with that Blake Lively targeted PR harassment campaign, we'll feel the same way soon about all angry online buzz. I guess my point is that we're turning a new corner in information warfare going into 2025, and the attempted monocultural domination of vulnerable peoples the world over will involve manipulating the online narrative.
