I understand and empathize with people who are the but of jokes finally being able to speak up. I’m definitely glad to see the trend you’re talking about. I also see a parallel trend that you don’t seem to see, and seem disinterested in seeing.

I do see it. I just think net there's likely more freedom and more fragmentation simultaneously. My original point was the shrinking context and falling mean free path.

Oh this is certianly true in the whole. Fragmention does mean less freedom for the (originally) very free but I don’t think that’s bad. There are also plenty of people that didn’t have much freedom to begin with and how have less.
