      Our political formulas & our will to self-determination & our love of antiheroes and underdogs & our bipartisan conviction that we're beset upon by a state with antithetical values to ours are all the same, which isn't to say we should make peace, but to explain our need for war

      We all watch enough of the same media and we all hear enough of the same things that surface fragmentation is negligible against DEEP cultural and memetic sameness

      So there's no sense in which media fragmentation has given us different epistemologies or different foundational beliefs; one man loves liberty; the other, equality. Who cares if you use iOS or Android, the web is the same, and so are most of the apps.

      Suppose we grant many of our enemies premises; that representation in media is important to mental health, that implicit cultural assumptions—we won’t be so crass as to call them biases—shape our self identity—that no one can actually contradict YOUR lived experience, what then?

      The claim that various "disprivileged" groups and individuals are made invisible by the dominant culture is laughable; when I tune in the only thing I hear, from both the left and the right, is a discussion of the supposedly "erased" groups, always in hagiographic terms

      And I get the feeling (perhaps I'm alone) that certain types of social arrangements are vastly over-represented in the media relative to the real population, and perhaps this over-representation and even glorification might be causing psychic distress to the rest of us

      Then again, I see myself represented in media all the time: somehow, people who look like me are always the villains, or at best, the dopey has-beens whose only graceful or sane choice is to defer to people who are radically unlike me. Whose experience is really being erased?

      The truth is that social prestige and financial security are not as correlated as one might think. It's possible to have a good paycheck and live in a safe neighborhood (what makes a neighborhood safe? perhaps something in the soil) and yet be disprivileged in many other ways

      And the metrics that are used to support the claim that oppression olympics winners are disprivileged are carefully chosen to omit manufactured social prestige and include only things you can't take away from people by humiliating them: e.g. their ability to hold a steady job
