Do you reckon these points, which can become functional pivots — about which, force can be exerted in/on the world — are schelling points? (Context, I’m trying to understand schelling points in relation to what I think I know already)
everything that a mainstream ideology lies about / refuses to see / keeps in its shadow is a weapon that it hands to any fringe ideology that is willing to step up and claim it, and the internet makes this process faster and more visible than perhaps it has ever been

I agree, though do you think it’s possible that some ideologies like science and pragmatism are better prepared to integrate their shadows more regularly (since it can’t be avoided).

science is absolutely awful at integrating its shadow; not sure what exactly "pragmatism" means here

Flip side it's mainly a DESTRUCTIVE tool... Just because the fringe agrees it's a lie doesn't mean they agree on what replaces it. Look at the ongoing history of implosion of US 60s and esp 70s Leftist radical groups. There are worse things than manufactured consent.
