Election turn out aside, the argument as I understand it is not about an absence of mass protest, but about an aleatory and dispersed quality to protest and a failure to constitute any durably positive or negative feedback loops vis a vis governance. https://endnotes.org.uk/other_texts/en/endnotes-onward-barbarians …pic.twitter.com/zEUySYCqei
