I read it, and I bookmarked it. You gave me a lot to think about. Thanks for that.

I think one thing you may have overlooked is the blinding power fear has, and how disinformation can also be used to spread fear. People aren't just unhappy because they aren't getting what they want, they are terrified. Terrified people do, say, and believe things they otherwise wouldn't.

I guess fear isn't new. Maybe it's the push notifications.
